UCF vs Tulane Game Preview

Why UCF Will Win

The Knight have to keep the offensive balance going.

It would be nice for the offense to explode like it did when it hung 70 on Temple a few weeks ago, but that’s obviously not going to happen. Over 200 yards rushing, over 200 yards receiving – the Knights can do that.

As great as Tulane has been, there isn’t a strong pass rush, there aren’t enough plays behind the line, and UCF and the best offense in the American Athletic Conference should be able to keep the pressure on all game long.

Tulane might be playing well, and it might have pulled off a win over Southern Miss, but the defense will give up a whole lot of passing yards in this.

It doesn’t hurt that UCF leads the league in rushing, too.

However …

10 Best Picks Against The Spread

Why Tulane Will Win

UCF will have to grind through the Tulane defense that’s No. 1 in the AAC.

No, there isn’t enough of a pass rush, and no, there aren’t enough disruptive plays, but the defense is good enough to hold its own in key spots.

There’s a lot of bending without breaking.

Besides allowing just 17 points per game, what is Tulane doing right?

The offense is feeding off the defense that’s so good on third downs, the team is winning the time of possession battle, and there aren’t a lot of mistakes.

Tulane isn’t beating itself with just four turnovers in the last six games and almost no penalties whatsoever.

The team is able to control games, do everything right, and then come through when it has to, but …

Schedules, Predictions CollegeNFL

What’s Going To Happen

Tulane has to gear up the offense to be ready for a bit of a shootout.

It was able to keep the Houston and East Carolina offenses from going off and – again – didn’t make the mistakes the other side did. That’s going to happen here.

UCF will put up big numbers, but it’ll turn it over a few times, it won’t be able to tun like it normally does, and Tulane will take advantage of all of it.

There will still be hope for UCF, though, in the AAC title chase – these two might meet again in a few weeks.

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.

What’s Going To Happen

This isn’t going to be another New Year’s Six bowl season for UCF, and it’s coming off an embarrassing loss to Tulsa, but it has had two weeks off to rest up with a shot to still get to a ten-win season by winning out.

The Knights are still potent, and they’re still explosive, but the defense hasn’t been the killer of the last few seasons.

It has to handle a Tulane offense that’s been terrific at times – the Green Wave were able to beat Tulsa – but stalled on the road at Temple.

At home, TU is 5-0 scoring 38 points or more in every game.

UCF will get the deep passing game going from the start – that’s been Tulane’s slight issue. It only played one team that can bomb away, and it lost to Memphis by 30 when Brady White went off.

With the extra two weeks to recharge, this will be a different Knight team that’s able to stop the big pass plays it’s had so many problems with at times over the second half of the year.

Prediction

Tulane 41, UCF 37

Moneyline (ML)

TULANE (+170) is a live ‘dog at home, as the Green Wave are unbeaten at home and UCF (-209) has 1-3 SU in its last four road games.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Tulane to win would return a profit of $17.00.

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.
