Spread opens Houston 4.5 pts. > Wave. https://www.vegasinsider.com/college-fo ... vs-tulane/

UH, 2-2, body of work to date:
1) 9/3 - UH 37, UTSA 35 (OT);
2) 9/10 - Texas Tech 33, UH 30 (OT);
3) 9/17 - Kansas 48, UH 30;
4) 9/24 - UH 34, Rice 27.

Surprisingly, the ESPN Match Predictor gives the Wave a 53.4 % win chance for the game. https://www.espn.com/college-football/g ... /401415625

Under Sagarin’s ratings formula the Cougars playing at home are a 0.35 pt. favorite over the Wave. https://sagarin.usatoday.com/2022-2/col ... ings-2022/

UH leads the series 29 wins to 7 for the Wave. http://www.winsipedia.com/games/tulane/vs/houston The last time we beat the Cougs @ Houston was the Wave winning 31 to 24 in 2014.

I think this game will be a turning point for the season, get blown out by Houston on Friday and Frisco Bowl (maybe?) here we come!!!

We should win this game but our passing game needs work.

K-State bounced back to defeat Oklahoma yesterday @ Norman 41 to 34. On Friday, we will find out what this team is made of for the 2022 season.

In 2014 we lost to Cincy @ Yulman 38 to 14, and the next week then beat Houston @ TDECU 31 to 24. It was CJ's finest hour while Tulane coach. :D

We will see what the 2022 Green Wave, WF & his staff are made of on Friday.

I think that was the game that got Tom Herman hired at UH. I think we've caused a couple UH coaches to get fired. Losing to Tulane at home seems to be the final straw on Cullen Blvd.

And, I believe the 2014 game may have been "Cougar High" Homecoming too? :D

I agree with Vegas, this game should be a dogfight to the very end.

Late money on Cougs, line moves to UH 4 pts. > Tulane, O/U 53 pts. The ESPN Matchup Predictor still gives the Wave a 53.4% win chance for tonight. 🤞

There is never a game against an FBS opponent I would classify as Tulane SHOULD win. Maybe COULD but not SHOUD. This Tulane you are talking about.

Anybody confirming this? I can't find anything on it.

The Yoggies are saying:

A betting site is tweeting that Pratt isn’t playing against Houston? Can anyone verify?

I guess I got booted again from the other site.
I haven't posted in 3 weeks ago not sure why.
And, I even tried to access the site from a computer in Colombia and still got told this IP address that has never accessed the site is blocked. Not even logged in, just looking is banned 🤣

First thing I thought about. Pratt was wobbly after a hard hit in the USM game. Pray he will be OK.
