The Tulane Green Wave and the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns meet Saturday in college Football action from Cajun Field. Here’s a Louisiana vs Tulane prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Louisiana vs Tulane pick.

Tulane Green Wave Betting Preview

This year Tulane kicked off their campaign with a matchup against Southeastern Louisiana. The Green Wave didn’t have any issues in that one and rolled to a 52-0 blowout win. In Game two versus Kansas State, Tulane held strong but was eventually bested 34-27.

Back on Saturday versus Oklahoma, Tulane was down 24-13 going into the final quarter. The Green Wave ended up with a 34-19 loss. QB Darian Mensah logged 166 yards with one TD and a pick. Makhi Hughes carried 19 times for 71 rush yards.

Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns Betting Preview

Over on the Louisiana side, they took on Grambling State in their August 31 opener. The Cajuns didn’t have too many problems in that one and rolled to the win 40-10. QB Ben Woolridge finished with 308 yards, three scores and a pick. Harvey Broussard caught four balls for 76 yards and a score.

Likewise for Game two against Kennesaw State back on September 7. Louisiana won that one easily 34-10. Woolridge threw for 189 yards and a score in the victory, but Zylan Perry and Elijah Davis did most of the damage. That RB duo posted a combined 184 yards and three scores off 21 carries.

Louisiana vs Tulane Prediction

I might take a stab on Louisiana here. You could certainly make a case either way, though. The Cajuns have had an extra week to rest and prepare for this one, and they’re coming off a nice win. Louisiana posted 454 total yards (257 rushing), 7.8 yards per play and 21 first downs versus Kennesaw State in their last outing.

As for Tulane, they didn’t post too bad of an effort versus a great Oklahoma team last weekend. The Wave coughed up two turnovers and had nine penalties, though. This next matchup will be significantly easier—that said I still like the Cajuns to cover.
