Trends
Tulane is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 road games. Houston is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games against a team with a winning road record while the over is 7-2-1 in their last 10 Wednesday games.
Pick
I’m going to take a shot on Tulane here. Houston’s the better team, but the thing here is that the Cougars have had a tendency to be overvalued in spots as a home favorite and I’m concerned this could be another one of those spots. Tulane’s been scoring fairly well on the road and I think this has all the potential to be a tight game. Give me Tulane and the points.
