Tulane opens as a 3 point favorite versus the University of Louisiana at Lafayette
Should be a fun and close game. Looking forward to it in two weeks. Sorry Broadway will not play. He is a talented and great competitor and athlete!

RE: Tulane opens as a 3 point favorite versus the University of Louisiana at Lafayette
I think this is a fair line the way we have been trending and with Broadway out.

What's interesting is 3 points is usually what's given to the home team in a pick 'em game.

So, maybe Vegas thinks the game is essentially even and Tulane will have the home crowd advantage.

Is Broadway going to be out for this game?

FAU beat the crap out of Tulane and yet the Green Wave is protected to beat ULL? Huh?

If by beat the crap out of you mean catching 5 interceptions in 5 throws in a row in your own (FAU) territory....

Broke throwing arm 1 month before game and had surgery? Yes. Otherwise that is being cruel.

Yes. Tulane had no QB options and FAU's defense is very good.

Vegas normally ends up correct. But the opening line is rarely that close.

Tulane was closer to the top of pack. Had things swung the right way Tulane could've been the west div champ over Rice. In it till the last week.

Ah, didn't realize, looked like they were much more in the middle then that, just seems an affront That our conference has a bowl game for the conf. Champion that involves playing a 3rd or so seeded coosa, what's the w/l for SBC in NO? If it's always set up like this I would be hard pressed to believe SBC has a losing record for it

It's a bowl game. It's between two in-state rivals who compete for the same recruits. There will probably be 60,000 fans in attendance. Anything can happen.

Tulane was all over the map during the season, looking great one game, like crap the next. The Cajuns appeared strong through most of the season though I didn't like how easily our opponents scored on us. When things went to hell in a handbasket against ULM, everything changed......and that last game against USA showed that the Cajuns are easily beatable under the right circumstances.

Depending on which Cajun team and which Tulane team shows up, it should be an interesting matchup. As I've said probably 10 times this year, nothing will surprise me.

It's not guaranteed he's out. He wont be ruled out until very late on I'd imagine. The surgery was fairly minor but its still surgery. I think its below 25% chance that he plays, but there's still a chance.

3-4 weeks ago I say Louisiana wins by 14. Now I think it is much closer to being a toss up.

Tulane finished 3rd in the West, 7th in conference overall. Put another way, there were 6 teams that finished with better conference records than Tulane. Translation: Middle of the pack.

Yep you are right about conditions I was at the USA. There will be no wind, rain and just the right temperature Cajuns by 10 Montana is like our back ups and our running game is much better than Tulane
