Gotta be lay it or don't play it - Cinci have been a covering machine lately and are far superior talent wise.

Tulane is respectable defensively but Kiel can easily exploit their secondary.

Both teams are 3-4 against the number; both teams have covered their last 2 games.
The 2.5 opening line was too low. I'd put it at about 5.
This is actually a good matchup for Tulane. Tulane does have a good secondary; they also run the ball well, particularly up the middle, and Cincy has given up a lot of rushing yards, particularly up the middle. Cincy has covered its last 2 easily, but against dismal SMU and mediocre USF. Tulane has seen teams as good/better than Cincy - G Tech, Rutgers, Duke and UCF and only Rutgers, arguably, pushed them around, and, if so, only a little bit. The games got out of hand due to ints and horrendous special teams. And TU commits too many penalties. Tulane's continued lack of crisp execution and mistakes are big issues in Cincy's favor
