Randy’s Pick

The Memphis Tigers are the more talented team and should be favored, but heir defense doesn’t allow me to lay this many points with them on the road. Memphis is 111th in total defense and 84th in scoring defense. The Charlotte 49ers obviously have issues of their own, but they have won 2 of their last 3 games, and that includes an overtime win on the road against Tulsa. Despite Charlotte’s issues offensively, this feels like it could be a back and forth, ugly game. Give me the points with the 49ers.
