My college football upsets of the week looks at the disrespectful odds that pin Army as plus-money underdogs vs. Tulane in the AAC Championship. The Black Knights' run game is no joke and the Green Wave lost last time out after allowing plenty of rushing yards in Week 14.
In the college football betting world, there's no better feeling than cashing out on an underdog upset and raking in all that profit -- and hey, I don't seem to be too bad at it.

College Football Upsets of the week
Here are my upset picks for Week 15:
Underdog Pick #1: tulane vs army (+168)
This seems just a bit disrespectful to Army, +168 ML underdogs vs Tulane over at FanDuel. The Black Knights are a one-loss team, falling to Notre Dame, a group which is now sitting at No. 4 in the College Football Playoff rankings.
Led by QB Bryson Daily, Army's ground attack is averaging a nation-leading 306.3 YPG; nearly 50 yards more on average than the second-best mark in Division 1. While Tulane's rush defense isn't awful, allowing 125.5 YPG, the Green Wave unexpectedly coughed up 236 yards to Memphis in last week's loss.
Daily's 25 rushing touchdowns, backed up by Kanye Udoh's 900 yards on the ground, is a threatening beast to tame. Tulane clearly struggled against Memphis, which averaged a less alarming 184 rushing yards per game.
At +168, there's enough reason to take a stab at a ranked Army eyeing its best season record since 2018 (11-2 SU) and potentially its only second 11-win season in program history.

What Is A College Football Upset Pick?
A college football upset pick or a college football underdog pick is a wager on an NCAA football squad that is not expected to win, according to the odds. This means that the team is “plus money” or you’ll get a bigger payout if they do win, instead of a classic favorite.
