Tulane Green Wave vs. Army Black Knights Prediction
I’m on Army in this one. Will Hall used to know the option well for Tulane, and the Green Wave have had extra time to prepare with a bye week. However, the Black Knights are starting to figure it out offensively, and plain and simple, I don’t think this Tulane team is very good. I think Army runs wild with the option and forces Tulane to feel the pain here so give me Army in this one laying the points.
