OFFICIAL: SMU-TULANE PREDICTIONS & ROLL CALL

[ALEX LIFESON]

Must win game for both teams, to keep any kind of championship game appearance alive. Thursday night game in New Orleans, on ESPN. Game day, is just now 4 days away.

[BIGHORSE]

Big game, we can beat them if healthy enough, and no turnovers.

[SmooBoy]

Heading to NOLA Wednesday. Mustang Band making the trip as well.

Feels like a 42-34 Smoo upset.

Good news that the Mustang band is going!

Vegas line has Tulane favored by 3.0-3.5

In my mind it’s closer to a toss-up

Don’t know how much these last 2 games would influence the PAC, but it would be a nice momentum story if we could end the season 8-4

Will be watching from peruna81 hacienda...and yelling at the broadcast. One of the things my wife of 35 years has learned to endure. I outpunted my coverage....

This is going to be a rollercoaster of a game. We will fall behind. We will fight back. It will be enough.

SMU 38
Two-lane 31

Or 9-4 with an impressive bowl win

[ALEX LIFESON]

I hope Tulane doesn't like their black uniforms as much as we did ours, they are calling for a blackout on Thursday. It's also their Senior night.

[ALEX LIFESON]

Early weather forecast: 50 degrees at kickoff, 48 by the end, small chance of rain.

[EastStang]

With our finally balanced attack, we should be able to get some big plays out of our offense. I think its going to be a high scoring affair with a stop or a turnover making the difference. 63-56 SMU.

[ojaipony]

All comes down to our defense. Will they get off the plane? Can we slow Spears and get after Pratt? Do that, and I like our chances. Do it not and it will suck to watch. And if Reid continues to lollygag (or anyone for that matter), pull them! Need Wright at 100%(ish).

[Pony78]

I'm thinking tulane by 7ish but I would bet the ranch that our DB's + LB's set a modern-day record for missed tackles vs the run.

[One Trick Pony]

Pain And disappointment predicted

[Arkpony]

I just don’t have any faith in our arm tackling defense. We will once again have to score a lot of points to counter our porous defense. Can we do it once again. I’m betting we can. Ponies 45-42.
