Although Houston is 7-3 SU and 5-4-1 ATS in its last 10 versus Tulane, this will be the Cougars first game of the regular season and Tulane has already played three. The Green Wave is playing excellent offense, scoring 66 points in its last outing against Southern Mississippi. The Cougars have failed to cover the number in four of their last five at home. Houston will open up with a victory straight up but falls short against the spread. Final Score Prediction, Houston Cougars win but lose ATS 31-28
