UTSA Roadrunners vs Memphis Tigers prediction
The Memphis Tigers are going to win this game, and them winning by a comfortable margin would surprise nobody, but this line is thick for a team that doesn’t cover numbers. Memphis is 6-9 ATS on the season and has failed to cover each of its last four games overall. The UTSA Roadrunners will be the more motivated side, given they don’t get these chances often, and they’ve quietly covered each of their last 3 games, which includes an outright win over Rice as 8.5-point underdogs. Thick number. Give me the UTSA Roadrunners and the free buckets.
