Memphis vs Tulsa Prediction
Tulsa is a bad football team that doesn’t finish drives offensively and can’t stop the run defensively. Not ideal when trying to win on the road. Memphis has been rolling this season and is above-average on both sides of the ball. Memphis is one of six teams with a cover percentage of 100 percent. Tulsa doesn’t do much of anything well, and Memphis hasn’t given us a reason to bet against them in any shape or form. Memphis is playing great ball and covering numbers as well as any team in the country. I’ll lay the points.
