Tulane is 1-2 straight up, but has covered all   three games. <\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText>The Mustangs are playing their third road game in a six   game stretch in which four are away from home. Conversely, Tulane is in the   third of a four-game home stand. <\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText>The top football handicapper in the world, Mike Godsey of   <span style=\"COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)\">GodsTips, anchor of <\/span><b><span   style=\"COLOR: blue\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.offshoreinsiders.com\/\"><span   style=\"COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)\">OffshoreInsiders.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/b><span   style=\"COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)\"> <\/span>says that Tulane <span   class=SpellE>FB<\/span> <span class=SpellE>Kasey<\/span> <span   class=SpellE>Stelly<\/span> is one of the more underrated players in the country   to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.offshoreinsiders.com\/index.php?PageID=117\">football   betting<\/a> experts. He is a tremendous blocker and his insertion into the   starting lineup last week was big for the ball control aspect according to   Godsey and his enormous contacts. <\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText>This could prove fatal for a Mustangs&#8217; defense which is   ranked 116<sup>th<\/sup> nationally. Since <span class=SpellE>SMU<\/span> joined   C-USA, the road team has won outright all three times. <\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText>However, as Grandmaster <a   href=\"http:\/\/www.offshoreinsiders.com\/\">sports handicapper<\/a> Joe Duffy   preaches time in and time out, <a   href=\"http:\/\/www.offshoreinsiders.com\/index.php?Page=Articles&amp;ArticleID=1398\">rankings<\/a>   can be a bit deceptive for the sports bettor. <span class=SpellE>SMU&#8217;s<\/span>   defense is bad, but the raw numbers are indicative of pace, not competence. They   allow 5.4 yards per rush to teams normally getting 4.8, 8.1 yards per pass to   7.4 and 6.7 yards per play to 6.1. <\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText>Tulane&#8217;s defense has been wonderful, allowing 2.6 yards per   rush to teams normally getting 4.5 and 4.3 yards per play to 5.5. Duffy says a   +1.2 ratio is excellent, though it&#8217;s early in the year and stats can only be so   accurate. <\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText>Who should you bet on in this contest?
