Tulane at Cincinnati - 11/25/22 College Football Picks and Prediction
The Tulane Green Wave will play the Cincinnati Bearcats in an AAC Game on Friday afternoon at Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Tulane Green Wave are 9-2 (6-1) this season after they defeated SMU by a total of 59-24 in their last game. Tulane was out gained by a total of 470-451, but forced five turnovers in the win. The Tulane offense is averaging 35.1 points per game with 229.4 passing yards per game and 189.7 rushing yards per game. Michael Pratt has thrown for 2,220 yards, 20 touchdowns, and four interceptions, while also rushing for 317 yards and nine touchdowns for the Green Wave this season. Tyjae Spears has rushed for 996 yards and 12 scores, while Shae Wyatt has caught 27 passes for 520 yards and five touchdowns for Tulane. The Tulane defense is giving up 19.5 points per game and 336.7 yards per game.
The Cincinnati Bearcats are 9-2 (6-1) this season after they defeated Temple by a score of 23-3 in their last game. Cincinnati out gained Temple by a total of 388-202 and forced four turnovers in the win. The Cincinnati offense is averaging 31.7 points per game with 270 passing yards per game and 127.9 rushing yards per game. Ben Bryant (questionable) has thrown for 2,732 yards, 21 touchdowns, and seven interceptions for the Bearcats this season. Charles McClelland has rushed for 777 yards and six scores, while Tyler Scott has caught 53 passes for 888 yards and nine touchdowns for Cincinnati.

Tulane is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games and 8-1 ATS in their last 9 conference games. The over is 4-1 in Tulane’s last 5 games. Cincinnati is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 Friday games and 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games. The under is 6-1 in Cincinnati’s last 7 games. The home team is 5-2 ATS in these two teams last 7 head to head meetings.
These two teams are fighting for first place in the AAC standings and home field advantage in the AAC Title game. The loser of this game isn’t necessarily in the title game, as UCF could still get in. This should be an excellent game, but I think it is going to be played conservatively with neither team wanting to make a mistake. I like the under here.
