Run defense is a pressure point for both sides

Pick Ideas

Lean UTSA -1.5

UTSA -1.5 is a small lean rather than a confident play.

Consider under 51.5

The under 51.5 is worth a look with Tulane averaging 20.5 points per game over its six recent completed games.

Wait for final availability before player props

Avoid committing to Tulane player props before kickoff; reassess relevant receiving or tight-end markets once availability is clarified.
