The Memphis Tigers are coming off a significant win over USF that vaulted them back into the top 25 and consideration for the Group of Five spot in the College Football Playoff. Ryan Silverfield’s offense is averaging 37.6 points per game (15th in the nation) and has a dynamic running game spearheaded by quarterback Brendon Lewis and running backs Sutton Smith and Gregory Desrosiers, with all three rushing for at least 400 yards and six touchdowns. Meanwhile, Rice is coming off its best offensive performance of the season in a 37-34 win over Connecticut in double-overtime. The Owls rushed for 300 yards in the win and are now averaging 226.0 yards per game on the ground. The model says the Over hits in 69% of simulations. Back the Over at BetMGM Sportsbook now:
Bill Belichick made a name for himself first as a defensive coordinator for the Giants and then as a defensive-minded head coach for the Patriots. He’s starting to establish that brand at North Carolina, but the Tar Heels did give up 34 points or more against three of the five power conference opponents they’ve faced. Meanwhile, the Orange are giving up 31.6 points per game and haven’t held any of their last four opponents under 30. The model predicts that the Over hits in 71% of simulations. Back the Over at BetMGM Sportsbook now:
The Bearkats won 10 games last season in just their second season in the FBS, but lost head coach K.C. Keeler to Temple and are 0-7 in Phil Longo’s first year at the helm. However, Louisiana Tech has lost outright as 5.5-point favorites in each of its last two games. Sam Houston earned its first cover of the season on Oct. 9 and has had two weeks to prepare for this matchup. The model says it covers the spread in 71% of simulations. Back Sam Houston at BetMGM Sportsbook now:
