Tulane is simply a very poor college football team. If you go back to last season, this team has just one win over a FBS team, and that was by the narrowest of margins as they slipped by Army by a single point 17-16. The Green Wave is that one-point win against Army away from being 0-15 vs. BCS teams in their last 15 tries. Other than that Army game, they have surrendered 30+ points in every game played this season. That runs the string to 13 of the last 14 teams they have played topping the 30-point mark. Why is that significant? The Green Wave hasn’t scored more than 24 points in their last 15 games vs. FBS opponents. They will be hard-pressed to stay with a Miners team that has averaged 34.8 ppg in their last four. The Green Wave has stayed in a few games as a dog of 3.5-10 where they are 5-2 ATS, but the straight-up wins aren't showing up, so I'm backing UTEP on the moneyline in this one.
