East Carolina opened the season with a very close loss to NC State and Tulane is coming off a big win over Houston. The difference maker in this game will be which team can play the better defense. I give that edge to Tulane as they have allowed the 11th least amount of points a game and the ninth least amount of yards. ECU has relied on its passing game and is facing a defense that is giving up just 123.6 passing yards a game. Tulane is playing at home and after the win over Houston, their confidence has to be sky-high. ECU's defense is giving up the 81st most passing yards and the 58th most rushing. Tulane is putting up 32.4 points a game. The Green Wave are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 conference games. ECU is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings in NOLA. Tulane will also get their starting quarterback back for this game. Tulane will have too much offensively and defensively for ECU.

play on Tulane.
