Against the Spread (ATS)
TULANE (+5.5, -110) is catching points at home, but shouldn’t need them. UCF is 1-6 ATS in the past seven games on the road and 1-5 ATS in its last six league outings. Tulane is 5-0 ATS at home this season, and 6-2 ATS in its past eight overall.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER (69.5, -110) is worth a small-unit bet if both of these offenses perform to their capabilities. The over is 6-2 in the past eight games overall for UCF, and 5-2 in the Knights’ past seven league games. The over is 6-2 in Tulane’s past eight overall, as well, and 5-2 in the Green Wave’s past seven AAC games, too.
