Football handicapping is off to a great start—that is for the wise handicappers—certainly not for the sportsbook.

Here is the official Tulsa vs. Tulane betting preview to go with the previously presented NFL tipsheet for tonight. Tulsa is laying 14 points on the road at Tulane.

Handicapping notes: This game is televised on ESPN. Tulsa coach Todd Graham said he will not publicly name his starting QB because he doesn’t want Tulane to know until kickoff. However the team knows who it will be. Cy McCormick of the MasterLockLine on OffshoreInsiders.com reports that G.J. Kinne has taken the most reps. He is part of a three-man race to replace senior David Johnson. Of the three, Jacob Bower with 11 completions last season is the most experienced.

Tulane has a new defensive coordinator Steve Stanard who must prepare for three QBs who bring different looks. They also has sundry players miss practice time because of the flu bug, but should be at full strength as far as that setback is concerned.

Tulsa is replacing their top passer, rusher, and receiver from last season. Among those gone is their all-time leading rusher Tarrion Adams.

Against the spread records: The Golden Hurricane is 7-3 as a double digit favorite. The Green Wave are 4-10 as home underdogs and 3-8 as double digit home underdogs. They are 7-23 in conference contests.
