Tulane improved to 9-1 after defeating Tulsa in New Orleans by two, 24-22. The Green Wave got a real scare from their longtime conference rivals, but after escaping they’ll look to pin win number ten this weekend in Florida.

Florida Atlantic moved to 4-6 after losing to East Carolina at home, 22-7. The Owls squandered in the second half, and they now face an uphill battle if they’d like to earn a bowl bid.

Tulane vs Florida Atlantic Trends

TUL is 3-7 against the spread, with a 2-8 O/U record.

FAU is 4-6 ATS, with a 5-5 over/under record.

Corey’s Free Pick

Tulane survived a scare last weekend, and it’s described how their season has gone in conference play, and after being dominant against the spread in 2022, their last four games have been decided by one score or next. While they have experienced trouble covering, FAU has noticeable issues of their own, particularly behind center. After struggling with ECU at home, I like leaning on a strong effort from Tulane on both sides of the ball, which should lead to a sizable victory. Roll with Tulane in this AAC matchup, and give the Under a look, as the Green Wave have a positive trend with the lower number this season.
