Ole Miss Rebels vs. Tulane Green Wave 9/9/2023 Betting Picks
Given all of the data and strengths and weaknesses of both teams, my prediction would be Ole Miss to cover the -7.5 spread. Tulane may boast impressive recent form and ATS stats, yet Ole Miss’s historical dominance over Tulane combined with their lack of success against SEC teams sways my decision toward them.
Betting the total would also be wise, considering both teams’ trends; taking an OVER 66.5 bet would also be smart given that both have quarterbacks who can score plenty of points, and recent games from both have featured high-scoring affairs.
