The current betting odds have Memphis listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Memphis hasn't looked great in their games this season with their 12-11 record overall, but their 7-4 conference record has them in the top half of the American Conference. They have been a terrible road team though with their 2-6 road record this year. Meanwhile, North Texas hasn't looked great in their games this season with their 13-11 record overall and their 4-7 conference record which has them in the bottom half of the American Conference. They have looked a lot better on their home court too with their 9-3 home record this season. North Texas had a decent start to the season, but they have struggled a lot more since starting conference play. They didn't have a tough schedule in the preseason and it is starting to show now. They are off a big win over UTSA who is the worst team in their conference, but they have still looked terrible lately as they are 1-4 in their last 5 games. Memphis hasn't been at the top of the conference this season like they were expected to be, but they are starting to get into a groove now and have looked a lot better lately. They are off a big win over Charlotte in their last one and they are 3-2 in their last 5 games now. They also have some momentum on their side with 2 wins in a row and they are going to carry that into this game against a North Texas team that was struggling a lot before picking up that win against one of the worst in the conference. Memphis still has the potential to be a tournament team with the talent they have, so look for them to continue rolling in this game as they are getting hot now. The best way to place a bet here is on Memphis to cover the spread in this game.
