They are 3-0 in their home games, 1-0 in their road games, and they are also 0-1 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

The current betting odds have Tulane listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Tulane is 4-1 overall this season with their only loss this year coming against Ole Miss. They are 1-0 in their conference games this season and they are still the defending AAC Champions too. Memphis has also been having a great year with their 4-1 record overall and they are also 1-0 in conference play with the home advantage here where they are 3-0 this season. Memphis has struggled a lot more in their wins than Tulane has though as Memphis just barely beat Boise State by 3 points at home and even in their 1 conference win they struggled to pull away from Navy at home. Tulane has a really good offense that can go toe-to-toe with this Memphis offense but Tulane also has the better defense as they haven't been giving up as many points. Tulane is going to put up points in this game while their defense gets some crucial stops. The best way to place a bet here is on Tulane to cover the spread in this game.
