Tulane vs Charlotte Prediction
I understand Charlotte is a bad team on both sides of the ball, but it is coming off a massive upset over Temple. That’s a confidence booster coming back home. Tulane is more talented, but it did just get smoked by UTSA and has issues scoring in football. Tulane is 116th in total offense, 108th in passing offense, and 119th in scoring offense. Tulane is also 132nd in rush defense. It’s hard to win, especially on the road, if you can’t stop the run.
I’m not going to say Charlotte will win this game outright, but this is a lot of points for a Tulane team that has chinks in the armor. I’ll grab the points with the 49ers at home.
