Why take Houston over Tulane “some content provide by” (https://athlonsports.com)

Tulane got off to a 3-0 start, including a 17-10 road upset of Kansas State two weeks ago. It was the best start for the program in 24 years, but the Green Wave couldn't keep it going at home this past Saturday night against Southern Miss. Despite out gaining the Golden Eagles by nearly 200 yards (451-253), Tulane made one too many mistakes (INT returned for a touchdown, missed field goal, blocked field goal, blocked punt) and fell 27-24 It's been a bumpier ride for Houston (2-2), who also had to deal with a much tougher non-conference slate. After opening with a 37-35 road win over defending Conference USA champion UTSA, the Cougars lost in overtime on the road to Texas Tech (33-30) and then fell at home to still-undefeated Kansas, 48-30. But Houston also had a tougher time than expected on Saturday night against Rice, needing its defense to come with some big plays late to escape with a 34-27 victory over the Owls. Houston defeated the Green Wave 40-22 in New Orleans last season, rallying from a five-point deficit in the third quarter to score the final 23 points in the game

I would not touch the point spread in this game (I think Tulane (+2) wins the game) but the OVER is a slam dunk set at 54.5. These two teams are used to combining for well over 62 points. Tulane is much improved and I expect lot’s of scoring
