Tulane Favored Despite Offensive Line Concerns

Tulane visits Charlotte on Oct. 30, with the Green Wave favored by 10.5 points despite a 3-4 start; Charlotte is 1-6 and coming off its first win after six straight losses. Tulane’s outlook is complicated by an injury to tackle Ryan Mickow and a struggling offensive line, while Charlotte’s upset win is viewed as potentially anomalous. The preview favors Tulane against the spread, citing its past wins over Charlotte and the 49ers’ struggles, though Tulane has lost three of its last five. A separate prediction market asks whether the teams’ combined second-half points will exceed or fall below a set line; it counts third- and fourth-quarter scoring and any overtime, but excludes the first half.
