UCF vs Tulane Prediction
The Green Wave had a more rigid schedule to this point and will enter this game with one less loss than the Knights. In the battle for the AAC, this is a huge game with significant implications for both teams.
However, the Knights have won their last four matchups against the Green Wave and seven of their last ten. While that is a damning statistic, Tulane is a much stronger team this time around.
This will be a big win for the Green Wave, and they'll jump quite a few spots in the rankings after this win.
Tulane -1.5 (-110)
