Tulsa at Tulane

Last year's meeting was a relatively easy UNDER as Tulane won 24-17 with a posted total of 48. This year's total is more than 60, even though Tulsa is averaging only 24.2 points while four in a row. The Golden Hurricane managed only 30 combined points against Navy and Cincinnati before breaking through in a 42-41 loss to Memphis on Saturday. Tulane allows 25.4 points and is #28 in the country in pass defense. The UNDER is 18-8 in Tulsa's last 26 games overall and the Golden Hurricane is 14-5 UNDER when following a loss. Also, Tulsa has stayed UNDER in 10 of its last 13 road games and 11 of 15 against teams with winning records. Tulane returned eight starters from a decent defense last season, but it has gotten off to slow starts this year. The Green Wave needs to put together four good quarters defensively and it is capable of doing it. This is an inflated posted total, so play the game to stay UNDER.
