Las Vegas - There was a whole bunch of magic down in New Orleans last season when Tulane posted a glorious 12-2 record, both straight up and against the spread. Don't think that 2023 is gonna reach those heights. They still have Michael Pratt at QB, but the tip of the spear, RB Tyjae Spears, is now playing in the NFL for the Tennessee Titans. Last year, Spears rumbled for 1,581 yards with 19 TDs, and also had 22 grabs for 256 yards, with 2 TDs. That's gonna be VERY tough to replace. The opponent, South Alabama, is heading to New Orleans with a stacked offense. They return nine players on the O side of the ball, including QB Carter Bradley (3,336 yards and 28 TDs). Love what third year coach Kane Wommack is doing in Mobile. He took over a program that was 4-7 in 2020, and after going 5-7 in 2021, improved to 10-3 last season. Not sure if the Jaguars can spring the outright upset, but we WILL buy the hook to +7 and watch the bank account grow.

For your wagering pleasure, here is your spread stat of the day. If you're thinking about making a wager on a football team in Los Angeles, check out these numbers. USC, after last week's game, is now on a 9-0 heater to the OVER. And cross-town rival, UCLA, has gone HIGH in nine of its last 11 games.
