Through 3 Quarters
The Tulane Green Wave were expected to win this one, and so far that's exactly how it's playing out. the Green Wave have a bit of a cushion as they currently lead the Army West Point Black Knights 24-12 after three quarters
Tulane has been relying on QB Michael Pratt, who has passed for two TDs and 173 yards on 23 attempts, and RB Amare Jones, who has punched in one rushing touchdown. That touchdown -- a 50-yard rush in the first quarter -- was one of the highlights of the contest.
The Black Knights have been led by QB Christian Anderson, who so far has thrown one touchdown in addition to rushing for one TD and 75 yards.
Army has been used to carrying a lead into the fourth quarter lately, so we'll see how they respond to the deficit.

What to Know
The Army West Point Black Knights have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They will square off against the Tulane Green Wave at noon ET Saturday at Benson Field at Yulman Stadium. Army is currently enjoying a four-game winning streak and is looking to extend their dominance.
You can't lose the contest if you win every quarter, and that was precisely the Black Knights' strategy against the Mercer Bears three weeks ago. Army was completely in charge, breezing past Mercer 49-3 at home. That looming 46-point mark stands out as the most commanding margin for Army yet this year. Army West Point's RB Sandon McCoy was one of the most active players for the squad, punching in three rushing touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Tulane had enough points to win and then some against the East Carolina Pirates last week, taking their game 38-21.
The Black Knights are expected to lose this next one by 3. Those who got lucky with them against the spread three weeks ago might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.
Army is now 6-1 while the Green Wave sit at 4-4. Two offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Army ranks first in the nation when it comes to rushing touchdowns, with 26 on the season. Tulane is not quite as good, but they are no chumps, either: they come into the matchup boasting the third most rushing touchdowns in the nation at 24.
