The second Thursday-night game of the week put North Texas at Tulsa (Thursday, October 1 at 6:00 PM PT / 9:00 PM ET) in Tulsa, OK, and it split the guys. Colby Dant opened on Tulsa off their win over Oklahoma State, worried only about whether quarterback Baylor Hayes would play. Sean Green broke off alone to North Texas, pointing at their turnover numbers and their recent run against Tulsa. Ryan Kramer came back around to Tulsa once Colby confirmed Hayes was probable, and Colby closed on Tulsa too, even with rain in the forecast. The guys played a point and a half both ways here; hear the full breakdown on Ep. 2694.

Our Picks
- Ryan Kramer (@KramerCentric): Tulsa -1.5
- Sean Green (@SeanTGreen): North Texas +1.5
- Colby Dant (@thecolbyd): Tulsa -1.5
Colby was on Tulsa first, pointing to their win over Oklahoma State and a coach he rates among the better ones. His one hesitation was Baylor Hayes’ health: Tulsa’s starting quarterback didn’t play last week, and Colby flagged the backup as a downgrade if Hayes can’t go.
Sean took the other side by himself. He liked North Texas’ takeaways, four against UNLV and three more against Houston Christian, and pointed out North Texas has had Tulsa’s number in this series, and said he likes the program.
Ryan came back to Tulsa once Colby relayed that Hayes was probable, and factored in a forecast for heavy rain. Colby closed the segment there too, still on Tulsa even with the rain and Hayes’ status in question, pointing to Tulsa’s rushing attack as the safer bet in bad weather.
