What are everyones thoughts on this game?? I know Tulsa's defense is suspect, but Ball St. is from the MAC... Typically these teams dont bode well from the Mac

I am leaning Tulsa -3, but been so up and down with the bowl games just not sure of myself anymore..HAHA

Just asking for opinions

5.5 pt line move and switching favorites is never a good sign for the original favorite (ball st). also i believe ball state is losing coaches after this game.

Im on Tulsa ML. Lay the -135 and Takem. Ball St is an average at best team. Im taking Tulsa and putting the profits in the bank.

Have u watched tulsa's defense at all this yr? everyone can score on them and ball state should come out with a grudge. if johnson is not on his passing game for tulsa, ball state could run away with this one. I look for something like 41-27 ball state winning

FYI, Ball State's head coach already left for San Diego State. This is the possible reason for the line movement.

Someone mentinoned a Wiseguy Buyback possibility going on in this one with Ball St. -2.5/3 at open and, now at Tulsa -2.5/3. Is there any logic to this theory?

I don't see how the Sharps could benefit from this type of swing with the tipping point being a Pk. The teams can't tie, and if it's close as expected then where's the advantage? A field-goal pushes either side.

I'm going to take Tulsa -3 here. Sorry, but Vegas is begging you to take Ball State and that is usually a bad sign. The majority of the time, not always, but mostly, when a big line move like this occurs, unless it's due to injury, the right side is the side where the line is moving away from. Right now, the line has shifted huge away from Tulsa.

Before you take Tulsa tonite just remember how bad Tulsa's Defense is. A terrible Marshall team put up 35 on them and Tulsa only beat them 38-35.

Well it's a bowl game... even BSU hasn't hit more than one total that started at 77+.. Weather in Mobile is looking fairly sh*tty, mix in a few stalled drives, under 73.5 is looking good. ? Anyone?

Yeah, and a very good Rice team got crushed by them. Look, I'm not looking for stats because you can find them for each side. I'm simply going where the smart money is going. Is is a guaranteed win? Of course not, but I am going where the odds favor me.

I got on Tulsa at Pk last week, thinking that the sharps moved it from them +3 to Pk, and now hoping I was right with the line at -3 and growing. I think this money's in good...we'll see.

Can anyone do research on line movements like this and see what the history is?
