The players know what plays they are going to use so now it’s just repetition. This bowl is likely a bigger deal for us than ULL based on recent successes. With it being in the prime of recruiting season the coaches know that winning, while looking good doing it, would go a long way. Winning more games in the future allows for us to play later bowl games

Waverider---ULL has not had recent successes, especially since Hudsoeth got the boot. A big ugly loss to us would be crushing for their recruiting days before early signing. The idea this game means less to them is completely wrong IMO. But I do agree with everything else you said.

WP, I don't think they're terrible. I actually think that we match up evenly. I watched the Sunbelt CG and their offense was like watching us: up the gut, up the gut, dropped pass.

This game will go either way.

Moneyline: TULN: (-165) | ULL: (+140)

Spread: TULN: -3.5 (-105) | ULL: +3.5 (-115)

Total: 59 – Over (-110) | Under (-110)

Betting Percentages (Spread): TULN: (42%) I ULL: (58%)

I never suggested they were terrible. I said they haven’t had a recent success equal to being able to claim (as WR did) that this game means less to them. On paper it should be a good, close game. A big loss would be devastating to either team
