Tulsa Golden Hurricane (2-1) vs. Ole Miss Rebels (3-0)
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane head to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi, to take on the Ole Miss Rebels in Week 4 of the 2022 college football season. These two schools meet for the first time since 1964 when Tulsa outlasted Ole Miss 14-7, so let’s see what’s the best Golden Hurricane vs. Rebels betting pick for Saturday, September 24, 2022.
The Rebels are listed as firm 21-point favorites. The Golden Hurricane sit at +945 moneyline odds, while the totals open at 65.5 points.
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane started their 2022 campaign with a tough 40-37 double-overtime defeat at the Wyoming Cowboys. They couldn’t satisfy the odds as 6.5-point road favorites, and the Golden Hurricane failed to cover the spread once more in Week 2, beating the Northern Illinois Huskies 38-35 as 6.5-point home favorites.
“I was very pleased with the way our team played on Saturday”, Tulsa head coach Philip Montgomery said following Week 2 victory over NIU. “Just continuing to stay together through some adverse things that happened. But finding a way to win, that’s important at this time of the year.”
