Florida Atlantic Owls (5-3) vs Memphis Tigers (6-3)
Wednesday, December 23, 2020 at 7:00 pm
At 7 pm, our selection is on the Florida Atlantic Owls + the points over Memphis. The Owls are giving up just 16.5 points per game (against oppoents that average 22.8), and have a much better defense than do the Tigers. Memphis surrenders 29.7 ppg (against foes that average 29.4). Last week, we played on Northwestern against Ohio State, and what I wrote then in my analysis also applies here. Basically, when wagering on post-season games, it's dangerous to give the much better defensive team a lot of points, as underdogs of 7+ points that surrender at least 7 less points than their opponent have covered 73% over the last 41 years. Florida Atlantic is 6-0 SU/ATS its last six post-season games, while Memphis is 1-7 straight-up and 0-8 ATS its last eight post-season games. Take the Owls as a big underdog this evening. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
