COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Tulane enters at 1-2 overall and has been uneven, but its offense is producing 193.7 passing yards and 120.3 rushing yards per game, which gives it a functional balance. The bigger issue has been on defense, where Tulane has allowed 24.0 points and 429.0 yards per game, including 211.0 rushing yards allowed per game. Southern Mississippi does not have team stat data provided here, so the best read is from the market itself: Tulane is expected to handle the game, and the current spread suggests the gap between the teams is still wide enough for a cover if Tulane finishes drives.
Tulane Green Wave is 1-2-0 against the spread and 2-1 to the over this season.
Tulane should be in control at home and is the side that offers the clearest betting edge. The Green Wave’s offense has been modest but steady enough to support a comfortable win, and the market number still leaves room for Tulane to create separation late. My projected final score is Tulane Green Wave 37, Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles 17, which supports a Tulane cover and a game that lands above the current total.
