UCF Knights vs. Tulane Green Wave Best Pick
The Knights controlled the action for the majority of the first match-up. The Knights have had the most consistent offense in the AAC all season; it wasn't surprising to see them control the action. The Knights can run the football with the best of them. The Knights' offensive line can be dominating in the trenches. The Tulane defensive front doesn't cause enough headaches for the Knights to get away from the run. A large portion of their rushing comes from the QB position. QB John Rhys Plumlee ran for an astonishing 176 yards the last time these two teams played. With the Knights attempting to extract a similar game plan and a similar result, expect them to rely on the run game from John Rhys Plumlee again. Take the Over.
John Rhys Plumlee, QB, Knights, 65.5 Rushing Yards: Over
UCF Knights vs. Tulane Green Wave Final Prediction
Many pundits will argue that Tulane has been the best team in the conference the entire season. The Knights got a big lead on Tulane the first time around, and it felt like they took their foot off the pedal. Don't expect to see them do that again in the AAC title game. Tulane may have home-field advantage in this one, but these two teams are even. The Knights can pull off the victory straight up; take the points.
Knights +3.5 (-105)
