The Cougars and Green Wave are evenly matched, as expressed by the tight spread. So, what bets have the most value for Friday night's clash?
What to make of either of these teams? Two weeks ago, Tulane went to Kansas State and beat the Wildcats 17-10. The Green Wave followed it up with a 27-24 home loss to Southern Miss.
Meanwhile, the Cougars are 2-2 after entering the season with high expectations and a Top 25 ranking. Their two losses are to Texas Tech and Kansas, but their two wins over UTSA and Ri ce were far from convincing. So, which team will find a win in this all-important AAC matchup?
