Charlotte Fell Just Short

Charlotte vs Tulane Prediction

Charlotte in the last game scored 28 points, and the Tulane defense has been inconsistent at best. Charlotte is averaging 23.6 points, but they are going to go well over that number here. Charlotte will keep it within a touchdown. Back Charlotte against the spread.
