The Pick: My 75 Dime winner is the Memphis Tigers.
The Line: The current line is +5 in Vegas and offshore as of 10:15 am EST. Be sure to shop around for the best line available.
Note: If this number should move to anywhere from +5 1/2 to +7 points, I advise on buying the half-point up on the Tigers. Likewise, if the number is anywhere from +2 1/2 to +4 points, you buy the half-point up.
Your Analysis
We got a live one here on Friday night sports fans.
A pair of 4-1 teams get ready to rumble as Tulane rolls into Memphis as a 4 1/2 to 5 point favorite.
The only blemish on the card for the Green Wave, the 37-20 loss at home to Ole Miss, failing to cover as a 13 1/2 point home dog.
They have knocked South Alabama at home 37-17, at Southern Miss 21-3, Nicholls State 36-7 and UAB 35-23.
Let's be honest: not exactly murderer's row here folks.
As for Memphis, they are a carbon copy of Tulane as their only blemish on the card is also to an SEC team as they lost to Missouri 34-27 in a game played in St.Louis.
They blasted Bethune Cookman 56-14, at Arkansas State 37-3, then came their usual struggle with Navy winning 28-24 but failing to cover the 11.
Of course the 34-27 loss to the Tigers, a game they could have very easily won.
First downs were even at 22 and Memphis won the time of possession 33-27 but were done in by 2 INT's from QB Seth Henigan.
The one in the first half didn't hurt but the 2nd one did. Down 24-17 at the end of the 3rd quarter, Memphis drove to the Missouri 20 and Henigan was picked off on 4th and 4.
They never recovered and lost by 7.
One number of note: the Memphis Tigers are 8-1 ATS their last 9 as a home dog. That is all you need to know here.
Folks, this game is going to be close and getting more than a field goal with Memphis is the only way to go.
Don't be surprised to see this home dog win the game outright.
