The Tulane Green Wave will be playing in front of their home fans against the South Alabama Jaguars at 8:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Benson Field at Yulman Stadium.
Tulane finished last season ranked 12th in the nation in penalties, having averaged 4 per game. South Alabama, on the other hand, didn't do so hot: they were ranked 122nd with 7.8 per game.
Looking ahead, the match is expected to be close, with Tulane going off as just a 6.5 point favorite. They finished last season with a stellar 12-2 record against the spread, so they might be worth a quick bet.
Tulane ought to be happy about their advantage in the spread: the team was a solid 9-2 when favored last season. Green Wave fans who chose to bet on their team sure did well last year: betting $100 on them to win every game netted those bettors $1,990.47. Sadly, South Alabama will open their season as the underdog, and the team was 1-1 as such last year.
