The Green Wave ran their current straight-up winning streak to three games with Saturday’s 24-18 victory against East Carolina, but they failed to cover as 10.5-point home favorites. They are now an even 5-5 both SU and against the spread with the total staying UNDER in eight of the 10 games. Tulane has gone 2-3 both SU and ATS in five previous road games this season with the total staying UNDER in four of those contests.

Houston is now tied with Tulane and SMU at 4-2 SU for the top spot in the AAC West Division following Saturday's 59-49 loss to Temple as a 3.5-point home favorite. This was on the heels of a 45-31 setback against SMU as a 14-point favorite on the road two weeks ago. The two-game slide dropped the Cougars to 7-3 SU with an even 5-5 record ATS. The total went OVER 69 points in Saturday's contest, and it has gone OVER in their last four games. They are 4-1 SU at home this season with a 3-2 record ATS.

Tulane at Houston Prediction 11/15/2018

Earlier in the season going with Houston to cover would have been the obvious way to bet this game, but Tulane comes into this matchup playing its best ball of the year while the Cougars continue to slide in the wrong direction.

One thing you know for sure is that each team will score its fair share of points on Thursday night in what could be a solid play on the OVER. However, in the end, I am going with the Green Wave to cover ATS as a solid road underdog.
