Memphis brings a three-game winning streak into New Orleans looking to keep rolling against a reeling Tulane squad.

## The matchup

Memphis has won three straight, piling up a 38-13 win over UAB Blazers, a 59-8 blowout of Charlotte 49ers, and a 45-21 win over UT Martin Skyhawks in that stretch, with a 20-38 loss to Boise State Broncos and a 42-24 win over Arkansas State Red Wolves earlier in the season. The Tigers have outscored opponents 231 to 125 on the year, numbers that back up the streak.

Tulane enters off a 17-20 loss to Army Black Knights, part of a season that has swung back and forth: a 24-21 win over Southern Miss Golden Eagles, a 20-31 loss to Kansas State Wildcats, a 28-24 win over South Alabama Jaguars, and a 3-17 loss to Duke Blue Devils. The Green Wave have been outscored 113 to 92 this season, and the one-game losing streak is the latest sign of a team still searching for consistency.

## Key matchups

This one comes down to Memphis's offense, which has put up 231 points this season, against a Tulane defense that has allowed 113. If the Tigers' attack keeps producing at that rate, Tulane's defense has to find a way to slow it down that it hasn't shown yet this year.

On the other side, Tulane's offense has managed only 92 points on the season, and it will be tested by a Memphis defense that has held opponents to 125 points total. How the Green Wave move the ball against that unit will decide whether this game stays within reach in the fourth quarter.

## The pick

Memphis is favored by 7.0 with a total of 55.5, and the market score sits at [Memphis Tigers](https://profootballnewshub.com/ncaa/teams/memphis-tigers) 31, Tulane Green Wave 24. Given the Tigers' three-game win streak and the gap in points scored and allowed this season, Memphis looks like the side with the clearer path here. Tulane has shown it can hang in close games, but turning that into an upset on the road scoreboard would take a better night than its recent form suggests.
