Top Tulane vs. Charlotte predictions
After simulating Charlotte vs. Tulane 10,000 times, SportsLine model is going Over 47.5 points at betting apps. Tulane's offense ranks near the bottom of FBS, managing just 20.3 points per game. But it does have a rushing attack, with Johnnie Daniels (394 yards, 6.0 per carry) and Maurice Turner (315, 8.5) moving the ball. Red zone issues and turnovers have sabotaged those efforts.
But neither team has a defense to lean on. The Green Wave are allowing 417 yards per game. They're coming off a 42-19 to UTSA after a win over Memphis, though they did force six turnovers the prior week in a win over Memphis. Charlotte possesses one of the nation's worst defenses, giving up a whopping 40.6 ppg. QB Cole Gonzales has thrown for 802 yards but with 7 INTs; the 49ers are coming off a 38-31 road win over Temple after several blowout losses. The Over has hit in three straight 49ers games.
This time around, SportsLine's model is projecting 49 combined points, making the Over the value 56% of the time. See the model's spread and money-line picks at SportsLine.
