Yes. I would argue that the fact that the spread has actually moved in Memphis's direction shows that the national perception of Memphis has changed - they have, arguably, the number 15 team in the country coming to town and they are expected to win. Tigers continue to change minds.

If I was a gambling man I'd take SMU at the very least on the spread. Can absolutely see UM winning this under similiar conditions as they did last week, especially with the FG game SMU has this season.

But to be honest I have questions about the Memphis DB's ability to cover a genuine passing team, as was the case last week. Tulsa had, I believe, nearly 600 yards of total offense and doesn't have the overall offense SMU has. Don't believe the Tigers can keep up

SMU 45
Memphis 31

Not just about perception

Memphis has basically kicked the **** out of SMU for a long time now, and while the games have gotten more competitive, Memphis still won on the road last year by double digits. Posted the same with a. Nicer TX spin in another thread but not again

Things change and spunky SMU has a punchers change, but don’t get too high on the idea that Memphis should be lucky to be in a game with the #15 ranked team in the country

Memphis plays well, we win. Period.

SMU plays well, they win, if Memphis plays poorly

"Good Brady" = Tigers by 6
"Bad Brady" = Ponies by 11

Many folks are pinning the outcome on Brady. STRONGLY DISAGREE.

Our defense will determine the outcome.

I'll go 45-31 Tigers.

Tigers 48
Ponies 38

Good response.
But we are 5-3 against the spread this year.

O/U is 72
So I'll go with the unconventional 39-33 good guys.
Not sure how that works itself out.

This will be a Tulane-ish game. Memphis has only lost once at home in years and that was by one point to UCF.

Tigers 52
SMU 16

SMU will rush the QB. Which means Brady White will make mistakes and have turnovers. So we will see a very close game. I say...

Tigers 38
SMU 35

55-38 Memphis

Tough number to cover.

US-35 THEM 27 .

31-8 Tigers

41 - 35 good guys

Checking in...

I think the line was -6.5 points. We did not cover.

Was a interesting SMU decision to go for 2
