NCAA Football Game Lines: Ole Miss vs Tulane Odds

It’s always good to get Week 1 of the season out of the way, especially when the opening weekend ends with a win. The reality, though, is that the road to the playoffs is a long one filled with potholes and potential disasters that are not easy to avoid. For the teams who are considered serious playoff contenders, the road is trickier still, as one loss can mean that the chances of being in the final 4 evaporate and die. While neither Ole Miss nor Tulane are considered heavy favorites to win a National Championship, they are both very good teams who could fall into the dark horse category. Both teams are currently ranked, and we are looking at a very good matchup here. Ole Miss hits the road as a 7-point favorite, with the point total for this game set at 65.

Why bet on the Ole Miss Rebels

Getting out of the SEC is no easy feat, but there are a lot of college football fans and pundits who believe that the Ole Miss Rebels could well challenge for the SEC West Division this season. While there are going to be tougher conference challenges to come later in the season, this will be a stern test for them in the early going. We didn’t really lean much about the 2023 Rebels in Week 1, as they did what they had to do against a much weaker opponent in a 73-7 win over Mercer. In fairness, though, dropping 73 points in the opening week might well be seen as a sign that the offense is in mid-season form from the off. As tricky as this one might be, the Rebels have won 6 in a row against Tulane, as well as winning each of their last 8 games in the month of September. They are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 against the Green Wave and have seen the OVER hit in 4 of their last 5 road games.

Why bet on the Tulane Green Wave

There is a lot to like about this Tulane team, but we will have one stat that might well serve as a reminder that they are still not on the same level as the SEC, which is arguably the best conference in college football. Let’s start with the positives. Tulane has won 5 in a row coming into this game, covering the spread in each of those 5 games. They have won 4 of their last 5 games in the month of September and have covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 games in Week 2 of the season. Where things get tricky for them, though, is that they are now 0-11 SU in their last 11 meetings against teams from the SEC. In terms of the point total, the OVER has hit in each of their last 5 home games.

Expert Pick and Series Prediction

This is a game that I think will be close in the early going, with both teams trading shots, but I think that the Ole Miss Rebels will start to pull away as the game progresses. I think the OVER is the safest bet here, but I also like Ole Miss to win and cover the spread. Ole Miss Rebels 45 Tulane Green Wave 27
