Temple vs Memphis Prediction

Memphis is obviously the more talented team and could win in blowout fashion, but that’s been the case a lot this season, and the Tigers find themselves in dogfights too often. Memphis keeps getting these inflated lines but has failed to cover seven of its last nine games. Temple also beat Memphis last month by seven points as a seven-point underdog. The underdog is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four games between Memphis and Temple. Memphis plays with its food too much to lay this sort of number. Temple should also enter this contest with some sort of confidence. Give me Temple and the points on Sunday afternoon.
