Last year, head coach Willie Fritz led the Tulane Green Wave to the greatest College Football Betting season in school history. The campaign ended with a thrilling upset win over the USC Trojans in the Cotton Bowl. Thus, Tulane was a hot ticket on this summer’s future market to win the American Athletic Conference. And with UCF, Cincinnati, and Houston gone to the Big 12, the Green Wave seems to be in a stronger position. However, what rises rapidly can often fall just as fast. Gamblers are asking if Tulane can sustain that rate of success in 2023.
