Before you decide on any Tulsa vs. Old Dominion Myrtle Beach Bowl picks or college football predictions, you need to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past five-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of almost $3,700 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It also entered the 2021-22 college football bowl season on a 43-29 run on all top-rated college football side picks. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns.

The model has taken into account that the Tulsa running game has several options that could wear down the Monarchs defense. Shamari Brooks (922 yards, six TDs), Anthony Watkins (589, four) and Deneric Prince (480, five) come at defenses in waves, QB Davis Brin has struggled with interceptions but can hit a big play at any time. He has 2,969 passing yards, 16 TDs and 16 interceptions. Linebacker Justin Wright has a team-high 77 tackles and can make big plays, posting three sacks and returning an interception for a touchdown.

The model also has considered that ODU has been a different team since QB Hayden Wolff and RB Blake Watson took over in the backfield. Watson has rushed for 100 yards or more in seven of his eight starts and has 1,035 and seven TDs for the season. Wolff threw for 1,757 yards and 10 TDs in the final six games, and he and sophomore receiver Ali Jennings have hooked up 13 times for 398 yards in the past two games.
