Memphis vs. Tulane Prediction
Take Tulane. I know all the pressure is on the Green Wave tonight, which is probably why the majority of bettors are taking the points with the Tigers. That said, these two teams met in Memphis in October of last year and the Green Wave scored a 10-point victory as a 4-point favorite. It was the third time in four seasons that Tulane won this matchup straight up and it was fourth consecutive season that the Green Wave covered.
According to ESPN FPI, Tulane is also one of the most efficient teams in the nation. The Green Wave rank 23rd in offensive efficiency and 14th in defensive efficiency. Memphis will have its hands full tonight.
