Memphis Tigers vs TX-SA Roadrunners Point Spread Picks

Memphis is 17-4 since the beginning of last season and its only loss this year came against Navy on Sept. 21. The Tigers have won seven of their past eight road games outright and 15 of their past 20 November games. UTSA is 2-6 ATS its past eight games and it has lost five of seven, including 46-45 to Tulsa on Saturday when the Roadrunners blew a 45-32 fourth-quarter lead. They outgained Tulsa 546-433 and still found a way to lose. UTSA is 0-6 ATS as an underdog and 0-4-1 ATS after totaling more than 280 yards passing its previous game. Memphis beat Charlotte 33-28 when Seth Henigan threw a 24-yard TD pass to Roc Taylor in the last minute of the game. Henigan broke his school's record for most career TD passes with 91. UTSA has allowed 35.7 points per game against FBS opponents. Take Memphis.

When you see Memphis as just a 3-point favorite against little-known Texas-San Antonio, it just doesn't look right. Memphis is known for running up and down the field with an aggressive passing attack and strong running game. Well, the line opened at Memphis -5 and is down as of this writing to -3. I agree with the move. Memphis is off a very physical game with Mississippi State, in which they pulled out a 31-29 win, but the stats were telling. The Tigers were out-gained 468-336, and they also struggled against Arkansas State despite putting up 680 yards of offense, but they couldn't cover -5.5. UT San Antonio is 3-0 SU and ATS and owns a win against Illinois. The Roadrunners put up just shy of 500 yards against Illinois and will have no problem scoring against a very weak Memphis defense that has yielded over 1,000 yards in the air in their two games vs. FBS teams. Make the play on Texas-San Antonio.
