FAU at Memphis picks and predictions
Prediction
Memphis (-385) will cost you nearly 4 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward. The Tigers pounded FAU (+300) in the first meeting in early January, but both teams are coming off a loss, and neither is a sure thing to get the job done Sunday.
AVOID , and look to the spread instead.
FAU +8.5 (-110) is worth a look catching more than 4 buckets at the FedEx Forum against Memphis -8.5 (-110). The Owls have failed to cover in the past 3 games, and FAU is just 3-3 ATS in the past 6 outings. However, the Tigers are a dismal 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games, and just 1-11 ATS in the past 12 tries as a favorite of 7 or more points.
OVER 159.5 (-110) is the lean, but proceed with caution by playing a
half-unit play at the best. Memphis rolls into play with 4 Over results in the past 5 outings, but be careful. The Under (164) cashed in the first meeting, a 90-62 win in Boca Raton against the Owls. FAU has hit high in 5 of the past 7 games, including 2-1 in the past 3 games on the road.
