Tulsa vs Memphis Prediction
Tulsa doesn't have the talent to hang with Memphis, so it wouldn't be shocking to see a blowout. Tulsa also hasn't had much road success this season. Memphis is 8-2 SU at home and is playing its best ball of the season with wins in nine of its last 10 games. However, Memphis has played with its food a lot this season, and it's led to filed covers in six of its last 10 games. Memphis is just 11-11 ATS on the season. Since December, Memphis has been 0-5 ATS as a double-digit favorite, and one of those failed covers was an outright loss to Arkansas State. I can't lay this number with Memphis. Give me Tulsa and the boatload of points on Wednesday night.
