Randy’s Pick
Massive line, but the Tulsa Golden Hurricane have a lot of ugly losses on their resume this season, and this isn’t a great matchup. Tulsa is horrible defensively and the one thing it does well which is running the ball, Tulane has the fifth-best rush defense. The Tulane Green Wave haven’t exactly blown the doors off teams this season, they just win games, this line is what it is for a reason. Tulsa isn’t good. It’s Tulane and the boatload of chalk or pass for me.
