Auburn Tigers vs Tulane Green Wave Point Spread Picks

Tulane's defense looks strong with eight starters back, including Nagurski Award watch list selection Patrick Johnson, from a 'D' that ranked fourth in the AAC in yards allowed. The offense faces a tough challenge in heading to Auburn of the SEC. They will look to control the ball and some clock with all their top running backs returning, including 1,000-yard rusher Darius Bradwell. Tulane is on a 9-3 run UNDER the total, along six straight UNDERs when facing the SEC. Auburn comes off an impressive win against Oregon, allowing 21 points and 2.7 yards per carry. True freshman QB Bo Nix threw a pair of picks, but the ground attack (206 yards) shined. Auburn has stockpiled talent on defense with defensive linemen Derrick Brown and Marlon Davidson. Auburn is on a 20-8-1 run UNDER the total against winning teams, plus 18-7-2 UNDER in non-conference tilts. Play this one to finish UNDER.
