Memphis vs. FAU: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Memphis Ncaa Bubble
Prediction
Memphis 38, FAU 24
Money line (ML)
Memphis (-350) is a risky play based upon its recent bowl season futility, as well as the fact FAU (+260) is unbeaten in bowl games. AVOID and look to the spread instead.
Against the spread (ATS)
MEMPHIS -8.5 (-110) is the play, but you’re obviously going against the trends in this series. Sometimes trends are made to be broken, however. It’s obviously documented that FAU was great under past head coaches Schnellenberger and Lane Kiffin, but this is its first appearance under Willie Taggart. The Owls are just 1-4 ATS across the past five games overall, and the offense has really struggled to put up points.
Memphis Ncaaf Espn
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 50.5 (-115) is a risky play considering FAU’s defense allowed 20 or fewer points in each of its games except for one. The offense has scored 24 or fewer points in six of eight games, including three games of 10 points or less. Still, the Tigers aren’t terribly effective on defense, and their offense will be able to crack the code of the Owls’ D.
