NCAAF - Running teams often translate to running clock and that means less points. However, Tulane is capable of putting up a lot of points in this game because they face a Houston team that is playing its first game of the season. That means the Green Wave could break off some big runs on blown assignments by the defense. Even with that though, it is hard to deny the revenge-minded Cougars (with nearly their entire offensive unit back) will be tough to stop in this one. Houston had a big lead at halftime of their meeting last season but then let the game slip away in the 2nd half. That means the Cougars, given the chance to put more and more points on the board, won't hold back here. Per the simulation report, this game will turn into a very high-scoring match-up in which the home team prevails by a double digit margin. Tulane off a high-scoring win at Southern Miss two weeks ago. The points keep coming in "waves" for the Green Wave here but they also won't be able to stop the Cougars. That said, the totals play here is OVER (Tulane/Houston)
