South Florida vs Tulsa Prediction
I get the Tulsa Golden Hurricane aren’t a good team, USF is far and away more talented and needs another win to become bowl eligible. USF should win this Game by a decent margin. The problem is, South Florida still isn’t a great team to just throw out 17.5 points. I’m not a fan of big numbers and a team that doesn’t defend. USF is 112th in total defense and 94th in scoring defense. The USF Bulls are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 Games as a double-digit favorite. Give me Tulsa and the boatload of points if forced to pick this week 12 matchup.
