Charlotte vs Memphis Prediction
The Charlotte 49ers are one of the worst teams in the country, as they’re 111th in scoring offense and 120th in scoring defense. The Memphis Tigers have put things together over the last few weeks, which includes just lighting up North Texas for 52 points. Massive number and Memphis hasn’t been great against the spread, but I just can’t back Charlotte with confidence. Memphis should win this game comfortably. It’s laying the points or pass for me on this Saturday afternoon.
