Memphis vs Tulane Prediction
Tulane hasn’t played to the level it was expected to this season and a defense that’s 126th in total defense and against the pass, it’s not ideal in this spot. Memphis has one of the best offenses in the country, which includes being 115th in total offense and 15th in scoring offense. Tulane has its hands full, folks. Also, Memphis is 8-1 ATS on the season, one of the most profitable teams in the sport. I’ll lay the small chalk with the Tigers.
