Betting Trends for vs
The Memphis Tigers have dominated the number against the Houston Cougars as of recent as they have covered the spread in 4 consecutive meetings. The Memphis Tigers are rolling this season and look like the favorite in the AAC, and a huge reason for their success has been their offensive output as they rank 8th in college football in points scored. The Tigers will try to establish their ground game early and often as Kenny Gainwell has run for 1067 yards and 12 TDs this season, and that will be problematic for the Houston defense as they are allowing an average of 171 rushing yards per game. Houston has looked decent on the offensive side of the ball in conference play, but if Clayton Tune is forced into passing situations, he is bound to turn it over as he has 6 TDs compared to 5 interceptions. Final Score Prediction, Memphis Tigers win and cover ATS 41-27.
