The No. 13 Oklahoma Sooners (2-0) welcome the Tulane Green Wave (1-1) to Memorial Stadium in Norman Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Tulane vs. Oklahoma odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Tulane’s season has been a bit of a rollercoaster so far. After crushing Southeast Louisiana 52-0, they had a tough 34-27 loss to Kansas State last week. The Green Wave led 20-10 at halftime and were up 27-20 in the 4th, but gave up 14 unanswered points and lost. Tulane outgained Kansas State 491-396, but turnovers and a late fumble return cost them the game.
Oklahoma is 2-0 but has had a mixed start to the season. They cruised to a 51-3 win over Temple in Week 1, but last week’s 16-12 win over Houston was much closer than expected. Oklahoma was outgained 318-249 yards. QB Jackson Arnold threw for 174 yards and 2 TD. The defense has been solid, but the offense needs to find more consistency as tougher games loom.

Tulane at Oklahoma picks and predictions
Prediction
Oklahoma 24, Tulane 14
Moneyline
PASS.
The Sooners will pull this game out, but it’ll be a tight one, which is why I’m going to look to the Green Wave getting the points in this game.
Against the spread
BET TULANE +13.5 (-114).
After a tough miss on a big win against Kansas State, the Green Wave are coming in fired up. They played well last week, and if they can move past that loss, they could give Oklahoma a real challenge. The Sooners didn’t look great against Houston and will need to improve to secure a win.
Tulane has been on a roll lately, winning 21 of their last 26 games and covering the spread in 5 of its last 6 road games in September. They’ve also been strong against non-conference teams, winning the 1st half in 6 of their last 7 matchups and the 1st quarter in 4 of their last 5 games. Given their recent performance and ability to handle tough road games, Tulane looks like a solid bet to cover the spread.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 46.5 (-110).
Tulane’s road openers have hit the Under in 7 of its last 8, and they’ve been under in 7 of its last 10 games. Oklahoma has been on the Under trend too, with both of their games this season going below the total points line. Plus, 6 of the Sooners last 7 home games against non-conference teams have stayed Under. With these patterns, taking the Under seems like a smart move.
