Florida Atlantic Owls vs Tulane Green Wave Prediction, Odds and Picks for Sunday, 01/04/26

Sunday afternoon takes us to the AAC as the Florida Atlantic Owls travel to face the Tulane Green Wave. Both are off to a respectable start to the season, with Tulane at 10-4 and FAU at 9-5, and both winning their conference opener. Expectations at the start of the season were for both teams to end up in the middle of the pack in this conference though, and that is probably still my expectation. Thus far though, FAU has looked like the better team, and they rank some 100 spots higher in ratings systems like KenPom and Torvik, and I am going to go with that as we take the Owls -4.5.

The problem for Tulane is that, despite their good record, they have yet to step outside of the mid-major level of competition. Moreover, they are dropping games to the better mid-major teams. Tulane’s primary warts are that they are one of the worst rebounding teams in the country, both offensively and defensively, and that they both shoot and defend the 3 poorly. That’s not going to produce sustained success. FAU is not what they were a few years ago, obviously, but they are at least middle of the pack in those places where Tulane struggles. I look for FAU to be the better team here, and I will take them to cover.

Florida Atlantic vs Tulane Prediction: FAU -4.5 (-115) available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
