Game Preview
On Thursday at Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium, the Tulsa Hurricanes welcome the Rice Owls in an AAC matchup. Although Rice comes into this game at .500, they lost their most recent game shockingly and have lost a pair of their past 3 games overall. Tulsa will be happy to return to their home for this game and also wants to bounce back into the winning column. Although Tulsa has triumphed in 6 of the 8 contests overall, these two haven’t faced off in a decade, with Rice taking the victory the last time out.
This year, the Rice Owls offense has proved to be something elegant, ranking 24th in EPA per play, thirty-second in success rate, and the nineteenth in explosiveness heading into this contest. Marquis Tuiasosopo, a third-year offensive coordinator, has a squad that regularly runs the chains and makes big plays. The risky passing approach that ranks twelfth in EPA per pass and fifteenth in passing success rate has served as the calling card. Given that the Owls pass at what is the seventh-highest rate for the country, Tuiasosopo has largely relied on this vertical approach.
Leading the way for Rice this campaign with 1,831 passing yards, JT Daniels has 15 passes for touchdowns and 5 interceptions while completing 63.6% of his attempts.
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane hasn’t played well defensively, coming in at 87th in terms of success rate and explosiveness, and 97th in EPA per play. In this game, it’s especially concerning because the secondary has consistently been outperformed, ranking in 116th in EPA per pass and 119th in throwing success rate. Although the Golden Hurricane rank 9th nationwide in rush rate and 7th in passing explosiveness, they have made the majority of their offensive gains through huge plays through the air.
Cardell Williams has completed 62 of 102 passes for 955 yards and 8 touchdowns against 7 interceptions for an average passing yardage of 159.2 per game. Averaging 18.3 yards per carry, he has also carried the ball 37 times totaling 110 yards and 3 touchdowns.

How to read NCAAF Odds?
The way in which NCAAF Odds are read is just like when reading odds for an NFL game. The odds in college football and in all other sports in which a person can bet on work as a competition leveler for sports betting purposes, especially considering that there will always be one team that’s considered a favorite even by the slightest advantage. Odds are used under the understanding that it allows both teams to be able to have a proportionate or even equal number of bets per side.
When reading the odds, you will usually see that the favored team in the matchup will have a “-“sign next to its name while the underdog will have a “+” next to its name. What that means for a favorite team is that bettors have to bet however much the number next to the “-“says in order to make $100. For the underdogs, bettors are told by the number next to the “+” how much money they would make if they were to wager $100.
How do spreads work in College Football?
When betting on your preferred NCAAF picks, you want to make sure that you are understanding everything going on around your wagers, which is why understanding how spreads work is something pivotal for winning. When reading a point spread most of the times there will be a favorite and an underdog, that is unless the matchup is so even that a favorite cannot be named. A favorite team, which usually is posted with a negative sign next to it usually has points taken away by book makers, which ends up meaning that for this team to win and cover the spread they must win by at least the number of points previously deducted in order to cover.
For underdogs, they will have a positive sign and will either win the game outright or lose by less points than the ones added by bookmakers in order to cover. While all that might sound hard to understand and deduct, that’s where a show like BetUS TV’s “The NCAAF Show” comes into play like an MVP, giving college football fans all the right tools and of course the best NCAAF predictions to be able to win at all times.
