For latest lines and to bet on college football, go to BetMGM


Why Tulane Will Win

The Green Wave pass rush continues to be among the best in the conference.

The defense overall might have its issues against the better passing teams, but at least there’s enough pressure into the backfield to be a bother. East Carolina’s offensive front is able to pound away a bit, but it’s not good in pass protection and there are way too many negative plays.

Offensively, Tulane came up with one of its best performances of the year in a good 38-3 win over Temple. It was balanced, the passing game has been okay, and when the running game rolls, the team wins.

Tulane is 3-1 when grinding out 200 yards or more, and ECU gives up 205 rushing yards per game.

CFN Experts Picks: College Football

Why East Carolina Will Win

The Pirate passing game is working.

The wins might not be there, but it’s a hard-luck team with two straight close-call losses to Navy and Tulsa when the O was just fine. The Pirates are great at controlling the clock and the tempo, and now it gets to roll against a Green Wave offense that doesn’t really care about time of possession.

ECU should have the ball for 35 minutes and should be able to put the pressure if Holton Ahlers ca get hot again. He hit a strong Tulsa team for 330 yards through the air with his third three-touchdown day of the season.

What’s Going To Happen

East Carolina just can’t break through, but it’s not playing poorly. After a rough first two games to start the season the team is starting to play a whole lot better. The wins aren’t there, but the team is just so close.

Tulane and QB Michael Pratt will hit enough deep plays to turn this into a shootout, but the defense will led the team down again. It’ll be a close, fun game with the Pirates finally getting its second win.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Temple (1-2) vs Tulane (2-4) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on college football, go to BetMGM


Why Temple Will Win

The offense and the team are doing a whole lot of things right.

The O is great at moving the chains, the team isn’t getting flagged enough to matter, and the secondary has been solid – although it’s misleading to say it leads the AAC in pass defense.

There are plenty of good parts to a team that’s slightly better than 1-2. The Navy loss could’ve gone either way late, and there’s no shame in losing on the road to Memphis.

It’s all about stopping the run against Tulane, and the Owls are just good enough to keep everything in check. Getting into the backfield doesn’t matter too much against the Green Wave, but not allowing the gashing runs is everything. Temple allowed 3.9 yards per carry.

CFN Experts Picks: College

Why Tulane Will Win

That Tulane running game really is good when it gets going, but the team can do more than that.

The pass rush continues to be fantastic, coming up with two sacks or more in every game but Navy – who doesn’t really throw – and the pressure has to come against an Owl team that finally dealt with a good pass rush against Memphis, and struggled.

If Tulane can be solid on the ground, keep doing a good job of not turning the ball over, and stall the Temple O with pressure behind the line. Do all of that, and the recent rough slide should turn.

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Here’s the problem for Tulane. The running game hasn’t worked well enough over the last three weeks – failing to get to 200 yards in any of them – and they were all losses. Tulane got to over 200 last year against Temple and lost.

However, Tulane is coming off a rough run of three road games in four weeks with the last three games against Houston, SMU, and UCF. As long as the weather doesn’t play a huge factor one way or another, the Green Wave should be good enough on the ground and on the defensive line to stop the three-game losing streak.

UCF (2-2) vs Tulane (2-3) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on college football, go to BetMGM


Why Tulane Will Win

The Green Wave have the offense to keep up the pace. It hasn’t been amazing over the last few games, but they’ve been able to put points on the board helped by a defense that forces a whole slew of mistakes.

The D generated five takeaways against Houston and two against Southern Miss – it has to screw up UCF’s offense by stalling drives with forced errors.

Win the turnover margin, get the best running game in the American Athletic Conference going early, and keep scoring, keep scoring, and keep scoring. The UCF run defense has been a disaster so far – allowing more than 200 yards in three of its four games – and Tulane should be able to hit the mark.

However …

CFN Experts Picks: College

Why UCF Will Win

The UCF passing game has been ridiculous.

The defense has gone bye-bye, but the Knights are coming off a 601-yard passing performance against Memphis and hit the 400-yard mark in two of the other three games.

Tulane’s pass defense is in trouble.

The Green Wave might have a fantastic pass rush, but it didn’t do a whole lot of good after allowing well over 1,100 total yards in the last three games and 299 or more in four of the five outings.

The only game the Tulane defense got a break against the pass came against Navy, and it’s not exactly the Kansas City Chiefs throwing it around.

UCF will fire at will.

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

What’s Going To Happen

UCF hasn’t lost three games in a row since the end of the 2016 season. There’s grumbling after losing two straight this year in games that could’ve gone the other way, but there won’t be concerns this time around.

Both teams will hit home runs, and both will make this a riot if you love big offensive numbers.

UCF isn’t dropping two home dates in a row – the Memphis game was on the road in between Tulsa and this – since the end of the 0-12 2015 season. It’s not losing a third.

SMU (4-0) vs Tulane (2-2) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on college football, go to BetMGM


Why SMU Will Win

The passing game continues to be amazing.

Shane Buechele isn’t just throwing for a ton of yards, but he’s pushing the ball down the field better than ever – the advantage of having a fifth-year senior under center.

Last year he averaged eight yards per pass and only went over ten yards per throw in one of his 13 games. For his career – including his time at Texas – he’s only hit the mark three times. This year? Three times in four games, and the one time he didn’t was in the 50-7 win over Stephen F. Austin when he wasn’t needed.

Tulane’s pass defense had problems with Navy. As you let that sink in, the other three games were disasters for the secondary, too, giving up two touchdowns and 299 yards or more in each of the three.

However …

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why Tulane Will Win

SMU lost two major parts to the offensive attack. Second-leading rusher TJ McDaniel is out for the year with an ankle injury, and Buechele’s favorite target Reggie Roberson – who led the team with 474 yards and five scores, averaging close to 22 yards per grab – is done for the season with a knee problem.

The Green Wave haven’t been consistent, and the secondary has had problems, but the offense isn’t turning the ball over, the D hasn’t been bad at getting off the field, and the rushing game continues to be lead the American Athletic Conference despite a rough day in the loss to Houston.

CFN Experts Picks: College Football

What’s Going To Happen

When teams are able to commit to the ground game against SMU, good things happen. Even Texas State and North Texas were able to run effectively on the Mustang defensive front, and Tulane will, too.

It won’t be enough.

Even with the key losses on offense, the Mustang attack will find its groove early and get up big. Tulane will do what it does and make a big rally in the second half, but SMU will score a few times late to hold on.

For latest lines and to bet on college football, go to BetMGM


Why Houston Will Win

Houston certainly had time to rest up and prepare.

Rice … no.

at Washington State … no.

at Memphis … North Texas … no, no.

The Cougars have had to sit around for more than a month to finally kick off its season, and considering the interesting move by head coach Dana Holgorsen to – after the first four games – make the 2019 season about preparing for 2020, it’s been a long, long time since the program has had to wait.

The passing game has a whole lot of good parts, the offensive line should be terrific, and the defense is loaded with veterans.

Let’s just say this group is salty and ready to go.

Tulane hasn’t had to face any sort of passing game like it’s about to deal with. South Alabama threw for 321 yards in the opener, and Southern Miss threw for 299 – both Green Wave wins – but those two don’t have the weapons in the receiving corps the Cougars are about to bring.

Marquez Stevenson is a next-level talent, but he’s not along with almost all the top targets from last year returning for Clayton Tune to throw to.

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why Tulane Will Win

The Houston defense has a long way to go from the late part of last year to merely be okay.

There’s experience with most of the top tacklers returning, but is the team really in game shape? It’s been one of the big issues for teams early this season – conditioning. Tulane not only has three games under its belt, but it had two weeks to rest up after hanging 66 on Southern Miss.

The Green Wave might have a few quarterback issues after Keon Howard was replaced by Michael Pratt in the win over Southern Miss, but the ground attack is rolling with 882 yards and 14 scores in three games.

Forget about hammering the ball – the Green Wave offense will work on the outside and see if the Cougars can run.

CFN Experts Picks: College Football

What’s Going To Happen

Can Tulane be patient? It’s managed to be a second half team so far – for the most part – as it takes a little while for the machine to warm up. Houston has to get up early, strike, and try to hang on for dear life late as Tulane’s fitness will be a factor.

Houston will have to come up with a late stop to hang on, and it’ll get it in a fun battle with wild mood swings.
