I'm not sure that Louisiana should be a home dog with the unbeaten Ragin' Cajuns having had two weeks to prepare for Tulane (1-2). UL has outscored its first two opponents a combined 74-20, albeit two lower-tier foes. Louisiana hasn't lost a home non-conference game since 2016. It has a mammoth offensive line averaging 325.4 pounds, the largest among Sun Belt Conference schools. Tulane could be physically battered after back-to-back tough losses to ranked Kansas State and Oklahoma. I'm starting to see the last 3.5s disappear so we will jump.
Where the Ragin Cajuns are being underrated is along both sides of the line of scrimmage. They can run the ball and stop the run, and QB Ben Woolridge is one of the more efficient passers in CFB. Tulane is coming off of back-to-back physical losses to Kansas State and Oklahoma. Not a good spot for them to get the Cajuns coming off of a bye week.
