Tulane at FAU, line, odds, TV information, series
It hasn’t been pretty, but Tulane keeps winning football games in the American Athletic Conference, and they keep moving up the Associated Press’ top 25 college football poll.
This week, despite winning by just two points over lowly Tulsa this past week – after scratching out a tight one with two-win East Carolina in their previous game – the Green Wave moved from 20th to 17th in the rankings and up to 9-1 and 6-0 in the AAC.
It won’t be nearly as easy this week against an FAU (4-6, 3-3) team that has just four wins, but has scored 38 points or more in three of their past five games.
The series goes back 55 years, but they didn’t start playing on a regular basis until 2005. Here, we share all the information with the lines, odds, TV information and the series history between them:
