Tulane vs. North Texas, line, odds, TV information, series

Coming off a big victory last week in the American Athletic Conference, No. 23 Tulane (5-1, 2-0) is a big favorite Saturday against North Texas (3-3, 1-1). Can the Green Wave avoid a letdown and remain one of the top non-Power 5 teams in the country?

Unlike most of the other opponents Tulane has, this is a very short series, as this will be just the second time the teams have ever faced off against one another and first in 10 years. We’ll share all the information here with the lines, odds, TV information and the series history between the two schools:
