Memphis vs. Troy Pick
Point Spread Pick for Memphis vs. Troy
- Memphis Tigers -3.5 (4 Units)
The Tigers have won two straight games, while the Trojans split their first two games. Memphis has the edge here because they’ve been able to have their way with opponents on the ground, with the team averaging more than 200 rushing yards per game. The Trojans struggled against the run in their first game against a team that isn't as committed to running the ball, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down Memphis’ attack.
Troy won’t be as successful offensively because their strength is running the ball, but they were held under 100 yards in their last game and averaged only 2.4 yards per carry. The Tigers have done a great job against the run so far, so expect them to stack the box and force Crowder to beat them with his arm, which won't happen. Go with Memphis to cover the spread.
