The SMU<\/span> Mustangs take on the
\nTulane Green Wave. We have already given you the official college football
\nhandicapping preview of USC and Oregon State<\/a>, now it\u2019s the Southern
\nMethodist and Tulane preview. <\/p>\n

The sportsbooks<\/a>
\nhave Tulane as an 18 to 18.5 point favorite with the total a solid 49 across
\nthe board. <\/p>\n

SMU<\/span> enters 1-3 straight up and
\n0-2 versus the Vegas spread. Tulane is 1-2 straight up, but has covered all
\nthree games. <\/p>\n

The Mustangs are playing their third road game in a six
\ngame stretch in which four are away from home. Conversely, Tulane is in the
\nthird of a four-game home stand. <\/p>\n

The top football handicapper in the world, Mike Godsey of GodsTips, anchor of <\/span>OffshoreInsiders.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/b> <\/span>says that Tulane FB<\/span> Kasey<\/span> Stelly<\/span> is one of the more
\nunderrated players in the country to the football betting<\/a>
\nexperts. He is a tremendous blocker and his insertion into the starting lineup
\nlast week was big for the ball control aspect according to Godsey and his
\nenormous contacts. <\/p>\n

This could prove fatal for a Mustangs\u2019 defense which is
\nranked 116th<\/sup> nationally. Since SMU<\/span> joined
\nC-USA, the road team has won outright all three times. <\/p>\n

However, as Grandmaster sports handicapper<\/a> Joe Duffy
\npreaches time in and time out, rankings<\/a>
\ncan be a bit deceptive for the sports bettor. SMU\u2019s<\/span>
\ndefense is bad, but the raw numbers are indicative of pace, not competence.
\nThey allow 5.4 yards per rush to teams normally getting 4.8, 8.1 yards per pass
\nto 7.4 and 6.7 yards per play to 6.1. <\/p>\n

Tulane\u2019s defense has been wonderful, allowing 2.6 yards
\nper rush to teams normally getting 4.5 and 4.3 yards per play to 5.5. Duffy
\nsays a +1.2 ratio is excellent, though it\u2019s early in the year and stats can
\nonly be so accurate. <\/p>\n

Who should you bet on in this contest? The top sports handicapper<\/a> off all time has
\nthe side and total. Here is the message from GodsTips: We added two Wise Guy
\nMLB underdogs and four MLB Major plays<\/span> added. <\/b>You are right. Humiliating the bookmaker<\/a> in college football betting
\nand the NFL is not enough. <\/p>\n

GodsTips goes 5-0 last night including the Braves +240 as
\na Wise Guy and the Cards on the runline<\/span> -1.5 +170. In
\nthe midst of easily the greatest football season of any handicapper\u2014again\u2014we
