The current betting odds have Tulane listed as an 8.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Tulane has looked really good in their games this season with their 8-2 record overall and their 6-1 conference record which has them right near the top of the American Conference. They are currently ranked inside the top 25 teams in the nation and they are the first in line for the group of 5 playoff spot. Meanwhile, Temple hasn't looked great in their games this season with their 5-5 record overall and their 3-3 conference record which has them right in the middle of the American Conference. They don't have any playoff hopes like Tulane and they can't really make the Conference Championship either, but they are still playing for bowl eligibility as they only need 1 more win and they have a chance to spoil Tulane's season with a win. Tulane is now in the drivers seat though and they will be highly focused on winning this game and finishing the season strong. Temple is coming out of their bye week, but they lost their last one to Army 14-13 and their offense looked terrible in the game. Their defense has also been really bad against top opponents in the conference and that is exactly what they are getting here. Temple's offense has looked terrible in their last 2 games too and they aren't going to be able to keep up with the points Tulane can score on this Temple defense. Now that Tulane is ranked and pretty much controls their own destiny for the CFP, they are going to bring their best effort in every game. The best way to place a bet here is on Tulane to cover the spread in this game.

“If we want to start feeling comfortable or casual about somebody wanting to vote us in the top 25 teams. There must be a lot of bad football going on if we’re one of the top 25 teams. We’re an average team.” - Jon Sumrall on his team being ranked inside the top 25.

“There’s always been a toughness about them. And I think, because they’ve had a recent history here of success, I think they’re a team that if you get them down, they’re going to fight their way back. I think they’ve been a little erratic and I think that frustrates the coaching staff. But when they put it together, they’re as good as anyone in the league when they put it all together. I’s just some of that consistency they’ve lacked.” - K.C. Keeler on his team’s upcoming game against Tulane this week.
