Bethune-Cookman vs. Tulane Prediction

I’m on Tulane here. I just think there’s a talent mismatch that’s far too much for Bethune-Cookman to overcome here. BC did well to battle Nebraska earlier this year, but also got crushed by Texas Tech and PFW, and think Tulane’s pace pushes them past the Wildcats here. Give me Tulane.
