Tulsa at Mississippi odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Tulsa at Mississippi odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Tulsa Golden Hurricanes (2-1) travel to The Grove in Oxford to have an offensive battle with the Mississippi Rebels (3-0) Saturday at 4 p.m. ET. (SEC Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Tulsa vs.  Mississippi odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Ole Miss comes into this matchup after handling Georgia Tech on the road last Saturday 42-0. The offense of Lane Kiffin and the Rebels is right where we expected it to be early in the season. Even with QB Matt Corral departing, the transfer in of QB Jaxson Dart from USC meant the position would not take a step back. Thus far, the defense has taken a step forward this season, which will become even more important when they start SEC play next week.

Tulsa also handled business last Saturday in a 54-17 throttling of Jacksonville State. QB Davis Brin leads the country in passing yards (1,206) and passing TD (11). The Tulsa offense has not faced a defense the caliber of Ole Miss yet. Nor has the Ole Miss defense faced an offense this good. It will be an interesting chess match to see which unit comes out on top in Oxford.

Ole Miss is No. 13 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Tulsa at Mississippi picks and predictions

Prediction

Ole Miss 51, Tulsa 37

Money line

PASS.

The line is too high to recommend any form of bet here. Save your money.

Against the spread

It is only a small play, but I LEAN TULSA +21.5 (-108) to cover here.

Ole Miss has yet to take on a team which can keep up with them on offense. This week, in Tulsa, they might just have 1.

While I do not expect Tulsa to come close to winning, they can score enough to keep the game within the +21.5 and cover the spread. If I were making a play here, it would only be in Tulsa.

Over/Under

TAKE OVER 65.5 (-110) as the big play here.

This is by far the best play of the game. Ole Miss and the air raid offense want to run an up-tempo game. Tulsa, with Brin, are willing to match the tempo the Rebels want to play.

There will be many drives in this game and points will not be scarce.

If you make one play on this game, make it OVER 65.5 (-110).

Tulsa at SMU odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Tulsa at SMU odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

In each team’s final game of the regular season, the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes (5-6) take on SMU Mustangs (8-3) at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. The match is scheduled to kick off at 4 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Tulsa vs. SMU odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

SMU is a talented side, but they’re crumbling, losing three of their last four after starting the season a perfect 7-0. UC, Memphis and Houston have all defeated SMU. However, Tulsa should be an easy challenge.

SMU thrives off their passing attack, throwing for over 305 yards per game, the 16th-best average in the NCAA. That said, they’re 6-5 against the spread and have a perfect 5-0 home record.

As for Tulsa, they’ve struggled but are also 6-5 against the spread. They’ve been able to keep games close with almost 200 rushing yards per game.

Sadly, they haven’t translated into victories. Tulsa has won two straight, and before that, lost to the No. 4-ranked UC Bearcats by just 8.

Tulsa at SMU odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

SMU 35, Tulsa 24

Money line

PASS on the money line.

While Tulsa has kept games close, they haven’t come out on top often. Likewise, SMU has 3 losses and aren’t good enough to hang a -230 money line wager on. The points are the way to find value here.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to SMU -6.5 (-108) as the better of the two sides. The Mustangs have been the stronger side, and that only improves when given home field advantage.

Also, SMU’s defensive strength plays to Tulsa’s offensive strength, which should bode well for the Mustangs. SMU limits the run, ranking 46th in the nation in opponents rushing yards per game.

They should be able to shut down Tulsa’s run game, which would help immensely. That said, all but one SMU victory has been by at least a touchdown.

Given that, Tulsa’s defense shouldn’t be able to stop SMU’s balanced offensive attack and the coupling of SMU’s defense to Tulsa’s offense. The Mustangs should manage a cover in this one.

Over/Under

BET on the UNDER 62.5 (-112) as the best value in this game.

SMU ranks 9th in points per game in the nation. However, they haven’t hit their 39 points per game average in three of their last four. Conference play has recently dampened their offensive prowess.

Tulsa is averaging just over 25 points per game with their strength in running the ball. Expecting to be playing from behind, passing may not result in them moving the chains often.

Also, Tulsa only has 7 turnovers on the season, so their combination of not turning the ball over and preferring the run should make for long drives. Combine that with SMU’s recent struggles, and I prefer the Under.
