Memphis at SMU: Odds, betting lines and picks
Prediction
Memphis 43, SMU 38
Money line (ML)
Memphis is rested and has the superior quarterback. The two teams will put up points, but go with White and company. Take MEMPHIS (-134).
Against the spread (ATS)
The TIGERS (-2.5) only have to win by a field goal. When these two teams met last season, Memphis won a slugfest 54-48. Take MEMPHIS (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
Memphis scored 37 in their one game this season, and SMU averages 48.7 points per contest. This is definitely going OVER 74 (-110).
