NCAAF Odds/Point Spread: Tulane Green Wave -335, Total Odds: 47
The betting odds favor Tulane significantly, with a spread of -9 and a moneyline of -335, reflecting their strong season performance and high-scoring offense.

Tulane Green Wave Betting Trends
Tulane’s betting trends show an interesting mix. Although they have an impressive 8-0 SU in their last eight games and 9-0 SU on the road, their recent ATS record stands at 1-6 over seven contests; suggesting they often win by smaller margins than expected by bettors. Furthermore, total games went under in 8 of 9 matches this season which could provide clues for successful bettors given Tulane’s strong defense and tendency for lower scoring matches.
Florida Atlantic Owls Betting Trends
Florida Atlantic has had an unimpressive run recently with just 4-8 wins over their last 12 games and an even poorer November performance at just 1-8 SU in 9 matches played SU. Yet their home record, where 11 out of 13 total scores have gone UNDER in recent games suggests tough defense that may affect total scores negatively.
Tulane Green Wave vs. Florida Atlantic Owls 11/18/23 Betting Picks
Based on the comprehensive analysis and current betting trends, Tulane Green Wave seems to be the stronger pick. However, their inability to cover the spread in recent games suggests caution for bettors leaning towards a large margin victory. Prop bets focusing on individual player performances, particularly those of key players like Pratt and Hughes for Tulane, could offer value.
Sports handicapping considerations should also take into account the potential for a lower-scoring game, given both teams’ trends of going UNDER. Florida Atlantic’s home record and defensive resilience might make them a more competitive opponent than their overall record suggests, potentially keeping the score closer than the spread indicates.
