Memphis at Houston

The Cougars have the most explosive offense in football. Where they have struggled this season is when a good offensive team can take advantage of their poor defense and score with them. That won't be the case in this one as Memphis has averaged just 18 points per game on the road this year. It would not be a surprise to see Houston put up 50 plus here as the Tigers’ defense has allowed 30+ in seven games already this season. With an offense not capable of scoring even against the Houston defense, it will be a long day for them in Houston. The Cougars are a perfect 5-0 ATS in their last five at home against a team with a losing record, while Tigers just 0-5 ATS on the road vs. a team with a winning record. Houston took a big hit last week with a loss to UCF but this is a good team and I look for them to take out their frustrations on an undermanned Memphis team here - a team that is 1-8 ATS on the season.
