Memphis at Tennessee

The Memphis Tigers are loaded after a 25 win season a year ago. They return over 81% of that scoring and have a lot of athleticism. They are off a disappointing loss at the hands of Michigan and I expect them to bounce back today against the Vols. Tennessee is off a hard fought battle against Duke, but nevertheless it was a double-digit loss. They have had some recent problems off a loss following at 1-4 ATS. Memphis has stepped up their game vs. teams over .600 at 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14. The Tigers are the better team here, are in a "hungry" spot and will be out to prove they belong within the elite. I am on Memphis on the moneyline here.
