Florida Atlantic vs Memphis Prediction

In this Florida Atlantic vs Memphis Prediction, Memphis is coming as -1.5 home favorites. Florida Atlantic has been the better team this season and have been playing good basketball lately, as they are 5-1 in their last 6 games and 4-2 against the spread. Memphis has been very strong at home, but are just 2-3 in their last 5 games and have been terrible against the spread, with a 1-6 ATS record in their last 7. The guests have the better offense, scoring 9.5 points per game more and have been in far better form, so I like them as road dogs in this spot. Take Florida Atlantic on the moneyline for plus money in this one.
