COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Army enters with a 2-1 record and a strong scoring average, driven by a dominant rushing attack and a defense that has limited opponents to 48 total points across three games. Tulane is 2-2 and has been more uneven, especially on the road, where it is 0-2. The Green Wave have produced a balanced offense, but their defense has allowed 231.0 passing yards per game and 191.0 rushing yards per game, which is a concern against Army’s ground game. Army’s 355.7 rushing yards per game and 5.3 yards per play this season stand out as the clearest offensive edge in the game.
Army is the side with the cleaner profile entering this game, but the strongest value position is the total going under. The Black Knights have leaned on a run-first offense that can drain possessions, while Tulane has not shown enough defensive consistency to force a track meet. A projected final score of Army Black Knights 24, Tulane Green Wave 20 fits that script well and supports a lower-scoring game with Army controlling the flow.
