The matchup
UTSA's current run includes wins over Navy Midshipmen 38-34, South Florida Bulls 31-24, Rice Owls 16-14 and Colorado State Rams 59-45, with the only blemish in that stretch a 6-30 loss to Texas Longhorns back in Week 3. That's a group that has found different ways to win, from a tight one-score game against Rice to a track meet against Colorado State.
Tulane enters off a 31-17 win over Memphis Tigers, but the results before that have been uneven. The Green Wave lost 17-20 to Army Black Knights, beat Southern Miss Golden Eagles 24-21, lost 20-31 to Kansas State Wildcats and beat South Alabama Jaguars 28-24. It's a .500 team that has alternated wins and losses for most of the season before snapping that pattern against Memphis.
Key matchups
The scoreboard totals tell part of the story here. UTSA has put up 226 points this season while allowing 189, a profile built on both scoring and giving some back. Tulane has scored 123 points and allowed 130, numbers that reflect a closer, lower-scoring approach overall.
With no individual player or starter data available for either side, this one likely comes down to which team's overall identity holds up: UTSA's higher-scoring, win-streak form against Tulane's grind-it-out, break-even results.
The pick
The market has UTSA as the favorite by 3.0 points with a total of 51.5, and the market score sits at UTSA Roadrunners 27, Tulane Green Wave 24.
UTSA's four-game win streak and better overall record give it the edge on paper, but Tulane is playing at home off a win of its own. The market's close line suggests this one could come down to the fourth quarter.
