At the time of this writing, 9:15 AM on Thursday December the 12th, there's unusual line disparity.
Some books now have Memphis at -4. FanDuel, DraftKings and a few others are as low as -1.5.
Since arriving in Memphis, coach Silverfield has had his team ready for bowl games. A win on Tuesday, makes him 4 for 4. Conversely, West Virginia has an interim coach, and players looking to leave the program.
Memphis has some interesting numbers against the run. They're ranked 14th in the nation with two inexplicably poor defensive performances. Navy ran for 361 yards, and for some reason UTSA did a little damage.
You can't cherry pick numbers, but assuming those two games were anomalies, The Tigers could be considered one of the best teams against the run in college football.
For West Virginia, in their last game they were down 42 to 3 before some late cosmetic points. Don't know why we should expect a reversal on this evening.
We gave out Memphis at -3
That number has and probably will move.
