Spread Pick for Memphis vs. Georgia State
- Memphis Tigers -14 (4 Units)
The Tigers played well offensively in their first game, especially on the ground, where they racked up more than 230 rushing yards. Expect them to play well once again because the Panthers couldn’t stop the run in their first game and gave up close to 300 yards on the ground and a 6.7 yards per carry average, so expect the Tigers to exploit the weakness until they prove they can stop the run. But with the team also giving up 400 yards through the air, don’t expect them to be able to prevent the Tigers from running all over them.
Georgia State won’t be as successful offensively because their passing game isn’t very good, which makes them one-dimensional. Even though they were able to run the ball in their first game, they won’t pick up a lot of yards on the ground because the Tigers did a good job of stopping the run in their first game, holding the Mocs to 3.2 yards per carry. So expect the Tigers to keep pressure on Veilleux and force him to make bad decisions. Go with Memphis to cover the spread.
Over/Under Pick for Memphis vs. Georgia State
- Over 56.5 (4 Units)
The Tigers scored 45 points in their first game, doing most of their damage on the ground. They will be able to move the ball against a defense that gave up more than 290 rushing yards in their first game and gave up 63 points. The Panthers scored seven points in their first game. They also did most of their damage on the ground, picking up more than 190 yards on the ground. But, they are facing a team that gave up 118 yards on the ground in their first game and 10 total points. The Tigers will do most of the heavy-lifting here, but these teams will score enough points to push the score over the total.
