Southern Methodist Mustangs at Memphis Tigers Prediction
The situation affords us a rare chance to take back Memphis with likely enhanced points. SMU has owned Memphis in the conference rivalry series and when combining that with the recent scourge of Mustang victories, an overreaction is likely to be fostered on behalf of the Mustangs. Typically we would expect this to be the case with a name brand team like Memphis. Such narratives set up the Tigers for a huge fall against Monmouth. However, those who were taking back points with Memphis against Oklahoma reaped the rewards adhering to the same principle of laying teams with high stock and/or recognized names. Oklahoma has both given what they achieved in the 2015-16 season. However, despite all the futility shown by Memphis and the supremacy imposed by SMU this market opened at a marginal increment separating the two. There is a reason for this and in spite of the Mustangs having the Tigers number as of recent, the assessment is that this one will be a brawl. Do not be surprised if the Tigers sneak up on yet another team they are pitted as an underdog against.
