Randy’s Pick

This line doesn’t make much sense. Yes, SMU is the better and more balanced team, but let’s not act like Memphis is chopped liver. The Memphis Tigers have won 4 straight games, have a top-10 scoring offense, and they’ve won 7 of the last 10 games against SMU. Also, this is senior night for Memphis, a squad that has 17 seniors on the roster. We’re getting a hook on top of a free touchdown? I have to take it. Give me Memphis and the points.
