Tulsa is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win while the over is 5-0-1 in their last 6 games in September.

I get the reasoning for backing either side in this one, but I’m firmly on the over here. Tulsa looked good against Jacksonville State and this Golden Hurricane team can score, but they’re also giving up a ton of points on the defensive end and that’s not what you want against Ole Miss who can put up points in bunches themselves. Give me the over here as I’m expecting a game that gets well into the 70s here.
