Let's recap the usf game...
(Checks pulse).
Enough of them.
Mooooving on.
So. Tulane. Again...

Tulane Fun-Facts:
Not typically known for being good at football.
Was a founding member of the SEC. Yep. They left to form the Souther Ivy League/Magnolia Conference which merged into Conference USA in 1995. Some of that early prestige has more weight than you think and they were a dark-horse for Big 12 consideration during the first flirtations in 2016 (Google it). They could be playing themselves into some considerations again. Good sports, good academics, New Orleans...
Tulane's nickname was adopted during the 1920 season, after a song titled "The Rolling Green Wave" was published in the Tulane Hullabaloo in 1920. From 1893 to 1919 the athletic teams of Tulane were officially known as "The Olive and Blue," for the official school colors.
Yulman Stadium is the on-campus venue for football at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. It currently has a capacity of 30,000 spectators, with 4,500 premium seats in two fan clubs – the Westfeldt Terrace and the Jill H. and Avram A. Glazer Family Club.[2] The stadium's first game and grand opening was the 2014 season's home opener against its former Southern Conference and Southeastern Conference foe Georgia Tech on September 6, 2014.

***Onto the REAL Beef*** ( or Jerk Chicken over spicy rice and lime-and-pepper brocolli)
Weather forecast at 4:00PM Eastern kickoff:
Sunset: 5:00pm (this early sunset stuff is getting old...)
Temp: 76F
Chance of rain: 80% at kickoff (Bring a poncho...)
TV: ABC
I ran Just 6 CPU simulations this time. I ran 5 of 6 with rain. I also used JRP and Mickey about even at QB. I do believe this is JRP's game though.
Average of 6 simulation results:
UCF 39
Tulane 20
Sim Avg Spread:
UCF -10 (Vegas: Tulane -4 1:12PM 12/2/22)

"Heart" spread:
CENTRAL FLORIDA: -4 (Vegas is ok...I matched)
My friend's son Julian's prediction:
UCF 27
Tulane 21
