UTSA Roadrunners vs Tulane Green Wave prediction and best bet for Oct. 24, 2026
UTSA will beat Tulane 28-20 behind Owen McCown and an offense averaging 411.1 yards per game. The Roadrunners’ passing efficiency and rushing production give them the stronger scoring foundation, making the spread at UTSA -3 (-102) an actionable wager with medium confidence. Tulane’s unbeaten home record and recent takeaways warrant caution. Pass on the total of 51.5.
UTSA Roadrunners vs Tulane Green Wave prediction and best bet
UTSA’s offensive balance is the strongest reason to lay three points. The Roadrunners average 231.7 passing yards and 179.4 rushing yards per game, giving them options when Tulane takes away their first choice. McCown arrives after completing 28 of 38 passes for 359 yards and three touchdowns in the Oct. 17 victory over Navy.
Tulane presents a meaningful challenge at home, especially after forcing six turnovers against Memphis. Still, UTSA has thrown only two interceptions through McCown’s 220 attempts this season. That makes another interception-heavy performance a shaky foundation for backing the Green Wave. The best bet is UTSA -3 (-102), with medium confidence. The total deserves a separate pass despite a projection below 51.5.
