The top-ranked Houston Cougars will face the Tulane Green Wave once again on Wednesday, after previously beating them to maintain sole possession of first place in the American Athletic Conference against the second-place team. Houston still occupies the top spot and can clinch at least a share of the AAC regular-season title with another victory over Tulane, who are visiting this time. The Cougars have been in sensational form, winning seven straight games and 16 of their last 17, including a recent 72- 64 home win against Memphis. They are also ranked No. 1 in the AP poll for the third time this season.
The last time these two teams met, Houston dominated the game beating the Green Wave by 20-points. Though lately, Tulane has been playing good on the road and the ATS . With a 5-2 record on the road, the Green Wave are also 5- 1 against the spread on road games. They are 5-0 on the ATS in their last 5 game overall. Houston on the other hand, the are 1 and 4 against the spread in their last 5 home games and 0- 4 on the ATS in their last 4 home games versus a team with a road winning record of greater than 60%.
That said, I’m locked in with the Tulane Green Waves to cover the spread at +15 for my free pick of the day.
