Prediction
Tulane has been better all around, and they should feast on UAB’s defense. The Blazers have allowed 32 or more points in each of their past three games, and they were blown out at home last week, so they don’t exactly have a great home-field advantage. The Green Wave have covered four of their past five, and we’re sticking with them to win and cover the spread on Saturday.
Final Pick
Tulane -15.5 (-120)
