Free Betting Pick: Tulane Green Wave -3
The favorite has covered the spread in 12 of the last 15 meetings between the Tulane Green Wave and Houston Cougars. I was a big believer in Houston QB D’Eriq King heading into the season, but he has failed to put together big performances under Dana Holgorsen and the new-look offense. The Tulane Green Wave were very good on the ground against the Missouri State Bears as they had 5 rushing TDs which could be a problem for the Houston defense who ranks 104th in points allowed. Tulane has also been very good in the home stadium as of recent, and Houston will struggle here. Final Score Prediction, Tulane Green Wave win and cover ATS 31-21.
