BookMaker has the Ole Miss Rebels listed as 7.5-point favorites on the road against the Tulane Green Wave on Saturday in week 2 of the college football season. Ole Miss has won all six games all-time in the series and has gone 4-2 ATS all-time and 2-1 ATS in the last three contests with the most recent game coming in 2021 which resulted in a 61-21 win for the Ole Miss Rebels and the Rebels covering the spread as a 14-point favorite. 

Ole Miss is 1-0 ATS overall and 1-0 ATS as a favorite this season after finishing last season with a record of 8-5 ATS overall, 3-2 ATS on the road, and 8-2 ATS as a favorite while the Tulane Green Wave are 1-0 ATS overall and 1-0 ATS at home this season after finishing last season with a record of 12-2 ATS overall, 6-2 ATS at home, and 3-0 ATS as an underdog.

Both teams are ranked in the Top 25 entering this game, however, Ole Miss has been the better team in the series, winning all six games while going 4-2 ATS all-time and 2-1 ATS in the last three games. I look for that trend to continue on Saturday when the Ole Miss Rebels travel to take on the Tulane Green Wave which is why I am buying the .5 point and taking the Ole Miss Rebels -7 on the road against the Tulane Green Wave on BookMaker for this matchup on Saturday afternoon in week 2 of the college football season.
