Tulane computer picks

Jake Retzlaff Over 185.5 passing yards (-114)

Projection: 196.77 yards

Retzlaff went Under this number in the AAC Championship, but topped it in eight straight prior (267.4 per game) and we're projecting him to go Over this afternoon.

🔥 Bet retzlaff passing yards now

Javin Gordon Over 18.5 rushing yards (-114)

Projection: 32.51 yards

Gordon was supplanted by Jamauri McClure as RB1, but there is too much value on this very low rushing total for what is still Tulane's leading rusher out of the backfield.

Alternate-total bet
25+ yards (+144) - This price shows phenomenal value.
30+ yards (+198) - Not quite as good as 25+, but still also an outstanding value.

🔥 Bet gordon rushing yards now

Shazz Preston Over 37.5 receiving yards (-114)

Projection: 53.68 yards

Tulane is likely going to be trailing — and passing — which helps our projection for its WR1 to top a relatively low total.

Alternate-total bet
50+ yards (+148) - This prop shows great value.

🔥 Bet preston receiving yards now

Anthony Brown-Stephens Over 31.5 receiving yards (-114)

Projection: 42.12 yards

The same applies for one of the Green Wave's other key receivers, who has topped this number in seven of his last nine games.

Alternate-total bet
40+ yards (+134) - This number shows good value.

🔥 Bet brown-stephens receiving yards now

Mississippi computer picks

Trinidad Chambliss Over 36.5 rushing yards (-114)

Projection: 51.32 yards

Our projections didn't see any edge in his passing yards, but they do like him to use his legs and churn out yards on the ground.

Alternate-total bet
50+ yards (+164) - This prop also shows great value.

🔥 Bet chambliss rushing yards now

Kewan Lacy Under 126.5 rushing yards (-114)

Projection: 125.88 yards

We're projecting Lacy to just finish Under a wildly high rushing total, in a game where the backups could be playing the final quarter.

🏈 Bet lacy rushing yards now

De'Zhaun Stribling Over 40.5 receiving yards (-114)

Projection: 52.81 yards

Mississippi has a plethora of receivers with very reachable totals, but the best value is on Stribling, who has gone for 66 and 76 yards in his last two games.

Alternate-total bet
50+ yards (+134) - This prop shows strong value.

🔥 Bet stribling receiving yards now

Dae'Quan Wright Over 35.5 receiving yards (-114)

Projection: 42.92 yards

Our projections also like the senior TE to finish Over his yardage total today.
