Cincinnati at Tulane picks and predictions

Prediction

Tulane 82, Cincinnati 77

Moneyline

In this AAC showdown, I’ll take TULANE (-130) at home. The Green Wave are 9-2 at home, while the Bearcats are 3-3 on the road this season.

Against the spread

TULANE -1.5 (-110) is the pick with the Green Wave needing to win by just 1 basket to cover the spread. The Green Wave are 8-3 ATS in their 11 conference games this season.

Both of these teams score with ease, making OVER 152.5 (-115) an enticing bet. Cincinnati is averaging 76.5 points per game (69th in the nation) and Tulane is averaging 81.4 points per game (18th in the nation) this season.

The Over is 8-2 in Tulane’s last 10 home games against a team with a losing road record.

Cincinnati at Tulane odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Cincinnati Bearcats at Tulane Green Wave odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 2 Cincinnati Bearcats (7-0, 3-0 AAC) travel to meet the Tulane Green Wave (1-6, 0-3) Saturday at Yulman Stadium in New Orleans. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET. Below, we look at the Cincinnati vs. Tulane odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Bearcats received a surprise test at Navy last week, winning just 27-20 as 28.5-point favorites. It’s something we’ve seen on the road from UC, as it is averaging just 29.7 points per game (PPG) in three outings on the road, while going for 49.8 PPG in four games at home.

The Green Wave have dropped five straight outings, failing to cover the spread in all five games, too. While Tulane has scored 21 or more points in each of its this season, it has also coughed up 40 or more points in three straight, and in five of seven games overall. The Over is 6-1.

Rankings according to the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Cincinnati at Tulane odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Cincinnati 45, Tulane 24

Money line

Cincinnati (-2500) is not going to be tripped up by Tulane, but you can’t risk $100 for every $4 won. There is just no value here.

AVOID.

Against the spread

TULANE +25.5 (-108) is awful defensively, but it has the offense to hang, even with a top-ranked team like Cincinnati. We saw the Bearcats look rather disinterested against a poor Navy side last week. That’s not the kind of lackluster victory against a poor opponent that will wow the voters into choosing them for a playoff spot. The Green Wave have a much better offense, and should be able to keep it within three touchdowns at home.

Over/Under

OVER 61.5 (-115) is the best play in this game. The Over has hit in five of the past six AAC battles for UC, while going 6-2 in its past eight as a road favorite.

For Tulane, the Over is 4-0 in the past four as an underdog and 4-1 in the past five against teams with a winning overall mark.
