Memphis Tigers vs Tulane Green Wave Predictions

Memphis brings the stronger form

Memphis enters Friday’s 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff at Yulman Stadium with a 5-1 record and a 2-0 mark in the American Conference. The Daily Memphian reports that the Tigers have beaten UT Martin, Charlotte and UAB by at least 24 points each during a three-game winning streak.

The latest result was a 38-13 victory over UAB. Underdog Dynasty, a college football publication, also reports that Memphis averages more than 500 offensive yards per game. That production makes the Tigers the likely winner and explains why SPF lists them at -270 on the moneyline and -7 against the spread.

Tulane’s home record matters at +7

Tulane is 2-3 overall and 0-1 in conference play after a 20-17 loss at Army, but its nine-game home winning streak makes the full-touchdown spread difficult to dismiss. The Green Wave also won the latest meeting 38-32 at Memphis on Nov. 7, 2025.

Those results support caution on Memphis -7, but they don’t establish Tulane +7 as a strong wager. No confirmed lineup, injury or line-movement information is available to clarify the matchup, and the reported 50-50 moneyline split is a default value rather than a meaningful public-betting signal.

Prediction and betting outlook

Memphis is the more likely winner, but -270 offers little return and the evidence doesn’t support either side of the spread strongly enough. The total is 55.5, with no matchup data that justifies an over or under lean. Pass.
