North Texas vs Memphis Prediction
In this North Texas vs Memphis Prediction, Memphis is coming as -11.5 home favorites. North Texas has been the better team this season as they have a better overall record, but just one win on the road, while Memphis has been strong at home. Memphis has three straight losses and North Texas is 2-2 in its last 4 games, but both teams have been playing some lower-scoring games recently, as they are 5-1 to the under in their last 6 games combined. North Texas has a top-60 defense in the country this season so I expect a low-scoring affair today. Take the under 133 points in this one.
