Spread opens Wave 5 pts. > UAB (Rotation nos. 383-384 for Vegas Insider sheet). https://www.vegasinsider.com/college-fo ... las-vegas/

O/U 56.5 pts.

UAB, 2-1, 1-0 CUSA, “body of work,” to date:

1) 9/1 - UAB 31, Jacksonville St. 0;
2) 9/11 - Georgia 56, UAB 7:
3) 9/18 - UAB 40, N. Texas 6.

Under Sagarin’s ratings system playing @ home we are a 1.83 pt. favorite over UAB. https://sagarin.usatoday.com/2021-2/col ... ings-2021/

ESPN Match Predictor gives the Wave a 77.6 % win chance. https://www.espn.com/college-football/g ... /401282211

We will learn what kind of a team we have & where this season is truly headed this coming Saturday against a decent UAB team.

Line now Wave 4 pts. > UAB, O/U 56.5 pts.

Cheer-up Wave fans, WF teams are “too legit to quit.” Beat UAB and then AAC here we come, & there is not an AAC team we can’t beat. For UCF, it is unfortunate what happened to Dillon Gabriel, but those are the breaks of the game (no pun intended).😉 And, Cincy @ Yulman on 10/30, the day before Halloween, should be one of our biggest games in quite some time.🎲🎲

IMHO, a must win for Tulane. Season could completely go off the rails should we lose

+1, UAB is now a very critical game for the season. How WF and the team responds to the Ole Miss debacle will tell us a lot about both them & where this season is headed. I just don’t see these guys giving up on the season and expect a really big effort on Saturday against UAB to put Ole Miss behind us

We need to make UAB pay for that poor performance.

Oddsshark has a predicted score of UAB 36.2, Tulane 22.4. https://www.oddsshark.com/ncaaf/uab-tul ... 21-1391751

But,"un-bunch your panties girls," these clowns also had ULALA routing us in the 2018 Cure Bowl. :D

And yes, Vegas Insider now has the spread ⬇️ @ 4 pts., O/U 57.5 pts.

The ESPN Matchup Predictor has lowered our win chance from 77.6% to 56.2%. https://www.espn.com/college-football/g ... /401282211

Apparently, after our having been routed at Oxford and the Oklahoma game "aura" now dissipated, the more complete ESPN analytics presently project a very close game.

This is a very big game for the 2021 season, I hope Michael Pratt is healthy and ready to play.

If there is a 3 pt. advantage allowed for the home team, the most recent point spreads of 3.5-4.0 favoring Tulane actually mean we are a 1 point (or less) favorite. Anyone who believes this game will be a cakewalk should not make large wagers. Your financial recklessness may cause your children/grandchildren to be forced to attend *gasp* ULL.

If I were a betting person, I would easily lay the points. Ole Miss is good. Very good. Lane Kiffen may be a classless jerk, but he is one of the very upper echelon coaches in college football. We are still a darned good team with quality players and quality coaches. The only good news out of last Saturday is that it doesn't appear that anyone was hurt. I think we can score on anyone and the defense should not be judged by that Ole Miss offense.

You are correct GL, on a neutral field this game might now well be "pick-it." And, UAB had its own "blow-out" loss by 49 pts. on 9/11 to Georgia for the score 56 to 7. So, the line makes sense, fingers crossed 🤞 on this one.
