Memphis enters this game with a solid 5-1 record, clearly the stronger team on paper compared to Tulane’s 2-3 mark. The betting line reflects that gap. Memphis is favored by 7 points, meaning they need to win by more than a touchdown for a bet on them to pay off. The odds on the spread are close, with Memphis at -105 and Tulane at -115, indicating a fairly balanced market despite Memphis’s better record.
Looking at the moneyline, Memphis is priced at -265. This means you'd need to bet $265 to win $100, showing the market sees them as the likely winner. Tulane is the underdog at +215, so a $100 bet would pay $215 if they pull off the upset. This suggests the bookmakers believe Memphis is the safer choice but are offering a nice reward if you back Tulane.
The total points line is set at 54.5, with the under slightly favored at -115 versus the over at -105. This implies expectations for a moderately scoring game, but the difference is small, so either side could make sense depending on how the teams play.
Overall, Memphis looks like the clear favorite to cover the 7-point spread. Backing them makes sense if you believe their strong record will continue. If you want more risk and reward, Tulane’s moneyline offers value as a home underdog. The total could go either way, but the slight lean is toward fewer points.
