Memphis is favored over West Virginia here on college football prop betting sites and surprisingly not by a wide enough margin considering the Tigers will have almost their entire team while West Virginia is on the brink of disaster.
Back The Tigers At A Low Cost
West Virginia is about to implode and it started when they fired head coach Neal Brown after a stale 6-6 season. With the firing came a bevy of transfer portal decisions which then led to opt outs for the game. The Mountaineers will still have their offensive key pieces, however, Josiah Trotter and TJ Crandall are two notable names that have already opted out on defense.
College football sportsbooks might be on to something though as they’ve shifted the line more and more in favor of Memphis since it originally opened at 2.5 points to the Tigers.
Memphis will have their full arsenal that averaged 35.2 ppg this season while allowing 22.8 ppg. They also went a decent 6-5-1 against the spread with a 12.4 winning margin this season.
West Virginia put up just over 28 ppg this season, however, they were outscored by 31.1 ppg. The team is a total mess right now and more opt outs are sure to come. Take the Tigers on the spread with confidence.
- Pick: Memphis -5
