Army  vs Tulane Preview

The Army Black Knights and the Tulane Green Wave had opposite results last week. Heading into this week’s show down, Tulane was able to erase a 14-10 deficit against Rutgers to take a three point win 17-14. Army’s rushing attack was potent in their game at home against Temple, bursting them out to a 28-14 lead shortly after halftime against Temple.

However, Temple figured the triple option out and exploited Army’s defense to take a 42-35 win. As these two clash, it will be interesting to see how the momentum swings.

Why To Bet On Army

Although Army could not hold the lead against Temple last week, that does not take away from the potency of their rushing attack. Their triple option is one of the deadliest offenses in the nations, and is sure to be a problem for a Tulane rushing defense that ranks near the bottom of the NCAA in rushing yards allowed.

QB Trent Steelman and RB Jared Hassin should be able to move the offense down the field. Army is also very good at keeping the time of possession well in their favor, which will keep the Tulane offense off of the field.

Why To Bet On Tulane

Although Tulane’s passing offense ranks only 73rd in the nation, their 226 yards per game in the air well eclipses Army’s 80 by pass. Army’s secondary, and defense as a whole, is also very weak against both the pass and rush. Tulane’s rushing attack has yet to get going, but this will be a good game to establish the rock and pound the ball.

Army’s defense cost them the game against Temple at home, and now they face a tough task of going on the road to try and stop the Green Wave.

How It Will Play Out

Though Army should be able to pound the ball, and keep possession, the Green Wave should be able to have an advantage in the turnover battle which will win them the game. Army’s defense is not stopping anybody, and the home team is the way to go in a game that odds makers are labeling a toss up.

Gambling Trends:

Army is 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games when playing on the road against Tulane
Army is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games when playing on the road against Tulane
Tulane is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games when playing Army
Tulane is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games when playing at home against Army

The total has gone OVER in 4 of Army’s last 6 games on the road
Army is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games when playing Tulane
Tulane is 5-19 SU in its last 24 games

Pick: The Tulane defense should be able to force one or two mistakes, which will be enough.
