The current betting odds have Tulane listed as a 7.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Tulane opened the season with a big win at home over a good South Alabama team that had 10 wins last year. Tulane has a really good defense that was one of the best in the country last season and their offense can also move the ball well. Ole Miss won their season opener against a team from the FCS and there hasn't been a whole lot of buzz around them this season. They still have a really good offense with a lot of returning talent, but their defense has been an issue over the last few years and Tulane has a really good offense that will put points up at home here. Tulane also has a really good defense that will make Ole Miss struggle more on the road here and this could also be a game they overlook with such a strong conference schedule coming up. Even if Ole Miss wins this game like they should, Tulane's defense will keep them in check here and this game will be a lot closer than Ole Miss wants. The best way to place a bet here is on Tulane to cover the spread in this game.
