Preseason prognosticators seem to think South Alabama will push Troy for the top overall spot in the Sun Belt Conference’s West Division rankings in 2023.

Tulane might ask for your understanding, as it carries a slight sense of determination and a “chip on it’s shoulder” heading into 23.

After securing victory in the American Athletic Conference and defeating USC, their accomplishments seem to be vastly underestimated as they enter the upcoming season.

These teams did not face off last season, but looking back on their last three head-to-head games, South Alabama has gone 3-0. South Alabama also had the edge vs. the spread in these games, at 3-0.

These games averaged a combined total of 64 points per game leading to an over/under record of 3-0.

4* Free Week 1 NCAA Betting Prediction: South Alabama +6.5

Despite Tulane coming off a season in which they covered the spread in over half of their games, I don’t see there being enough value to take them at -6.5. Instead, my money is going on South Alabama at +6.5.

The Jaguars finished last year with a loss in the New Orleans Bowl, but averaged 31PPG. Tulane averages 36PPG, and therefore I can see the Jags keeping this one close in Week 1.

My strong play in this one is on the OVER.
