POINTS!
SMU Mustangs (6-4) at #18 Memphis Tigers (8-1)
Noon, Saturday, ESPN News
Over/under: 75.5 points; Spread: Tigers -11.5
The Tigers, winners of five in a row, are hosting the Ponies in an AAC West showdown. Since their loss to #14 UCF Golden Knights, the Tigers are averaging 47.8 points of offense per game and surrendering 27.2 points. That’s 75 points right there.
The Mustangs just lost a closely-fought game with the Midshipmen, and are averaging 39.6 points of offense this year while giving up 32.2 points.
OddsShark says Memphis will prevail, 45-34, which means the Ponies cover but the over also pays.
