College Football Betting Trends
Tulane
Tulane has hit the under in four of their last five non-conference games and in five of their last seven overall.
Ohio State
Purdue has hit the over in 10 of its last 14 games overall and in nine of their last 12 following a win.
Prediction:
Ohio State has been able to score a ton of points this year and it should be able to score at least 50 in this game against Tulane. There is potential for even more than that. Tulane has a horrible run defense and Ohio State should carve it up. The Green Wave will need to be able to score a few times for the over to hit, but I think they can in garbage time. I like Ohio State to get another over behind its offense.
College Football Prediction: Tulane/Ohio State Over 69
