Tulane is currently a 5-point favorite over Houston, but our betting data suggests there's value instead with the total — specifically the under.

Windy Unders

Sustained winds of 13 mph are expected at Yulman Stadium. Since 2005, games played with winds of least 13 mph have gone under the total 57% of the time over a sample of more than 850 games. Here's a more detailed look at this simple, yet effective system:

Rushing Statistics

In addition to windy weather expected to limit the explosive passing and kicking games, these teams lean on the run as well.

When two teams that average at least 215 yards on the ground play, the under is 155-129-6 (54.6%).

If we include just games with totals below 59 — the Houston vs. Tulane over/under sits at 56 — unders improve to 87-67-3 (56.5%).

This Pro system includes one more match for Week 4.
