College Football pick today: Tulane Green Wave -3.5 over SMU Mustangs (-110), 7:30 pm ET
All college football eyes will be on Tulane and SMU tonight, as they are the only college football game on the docket. SMU comes into the game hot, winners of 3 straight. Their two conference losses came to the other top teams, Cincinnati and UCF. Tulane comes into the game at 8-2 overall, and they suffered a setback last week against UCF. It was their only conference loss to date, though, and they still control their own destiny if they can hold serve against SMU and beat Cincinnati in what will amount to a play-in game for the conference championship.
Tulane should be able to move the ball with relative ease against a generous SMU defense, and they are likely to get just enough out of their defense to secure the win. The SMU defense ranks well outside of the top 100 in terms of rushing yards allowed, and Tulane loves to hand the ball to Tyjae Spears.'Playing at home also helps, and so does the extra motivation of knowing that a New Year's Six bowl game is not yet out of their reach. For that reason, backing the Green Wave will be the play.
