The Tulane Green Wave (9-1, 6-0 AAC) and FAU Owls (4-6, 3-3) meet Saturday at FAU Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Tulane vs. FAU odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Tulane enters on an 8-game winning streak, although the past 4 games have all been close shaves. The Green Wave edged a bad Tulsa team by a 24-22 score at Yulman Stadium in New Orleans last weekend despite being favored by 24.5. Prior to that, Tulane edged East Carolina 13-10 on the road as a 17.5-point favorite. The Wave have won the past 4 games by a single score despite being favored by double digits in each.
FAU has frittered away any realistic chance of a bowl thanks to losses at UAB on Nov. 4 and at home to a 2-win East Carolina team last Saturday. The Owls have plenty of offensive weapons in RB Larry McCammon III and WR LaJohntay Wester, but the offense disappears at inopportune tunes, and the defense can’t get stops when needed. Thankfully for Owls fans, they’re a basketball school now.
