Memphis at Tulane

Tulane is coming off three consecutive road games having won their last. They have developed into a team that is controlling the line of scrimmage and running the ball with good effectiveness. They have rushed for 848 yards in three road games, and bring that momentum home for this week's clash against Memphis. The Tigers have struggled to stop the run all season allowing 4.5 ypc and 176 ypg. That spells trouble on the road vs. a team that has averaged nearly 200 yards per game and 5.2 ypc. Overall, Memphis is yielding 42 ppg on the road and they will be hard pressed to control the line of scrimmage against this Tulane team. Put a team on the field that averages 190+ on the ground, and had 300+ in their last game, vs. an average rushing defense, and the history says 27-4 ATS to the running team. That not only spells trouble for Memphis, but is convincing enough for us to lay less than a FG at home and ride with Tulane in this one.
