Tulane at Charlotte picks and predictions

forecast

Tulane 48, Charlotte 27

Money line

Tulane (-650) will cost you 6 1/2 times your potential return, and that's just way too much risk for nowhere near enough reward. The Green Wave wouldn't even be a recommended play as part of a multi-team game, as including Tulane takes all the value out of your ticket.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Roll along TULANE -14.5 (-110) sets the points as the Green Wave has a balanced offensive attack that the leaky Charlotte +14.5 (-110) has a hard time keeping under control.

The Green Wave have scored 41 or more points in 4 of their 5 games during the current winning streak.

The 49ers' defense has allowed 30 or more points in 5 of their 8 games, while Charlotte has allowed a total of 415.1 yards, 230.8 passing yards, 184.4 rushing yards and 34.3 points per game allowed.

Over/Under

OVER 56.5 (-110) is by far the best play on the board in this fight.

The Over has cashed in three straight games for Charlotte while going 6-1 in each of his last seven games.

For Tulane, the over is winning at a pace of 5-2 in its last 7 games while also going 4-0 in 4 away games.

Go over there and be pretty aggressive.
