Memphis vs Tulane Prediction
The current betting odds have Memphis listed as a 14 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Memphis has looked really good in their games this season with their 9-2 record overall and their 5-2 conference record which has them right near the top of the AAC. They have already been eliminated from the AAC Championship with their 2 losses, but they are still playing for pride and will be looking to be the first team to hand Tulane a conference loss this season. Meanwhile, Tulane has looked great in their games this season with their 9-2 record overall and their 7-0 conference record which has them right at the top of the AAC and in the Championship game. They are coming out of their bye week so they have had extra time to prepare for this game and they are coming off a 35-0 win over Navy in their last one, rolling a lot of their opponents lately. Their defense hasn't been giving up many points in their games either, but they also haven't really seen an offense like Memphis. Memphis has been putting up a ton of points all season and even though their defense hasn't looked great, their offense will keep them in this game. They are coming off a 53-18 win over UAB in their last one and they are going to bring their best effort to end the regular season with a positive since they can still get to 10 wins this season. Tulane will be able to slow down Memphis with their defense, but they won't do enough to keep Memphis down and out of this game. The best way to place a bet here is on Memphis to cover the spread in this game.
