Taking MEMPHIS. Maybe this is my square play of the day here, I dunno. I just can't bet on Houston. I though these guys would be good. I mean. Look at these scores. 33-30 OT loser to Texas Tech. You hit a FG with 37 seconds left and give one up at 000s, then lose in OT. Yikes. Next week vs UTSA. Down 21-7, you come all the way back to hit a FG to go up 24-21 with 23 seconds left. Deja Vu as UTS connects with no time left for OT again! You pull this one out to get even. You jump out 14-0 on Kansas as 10pt faves at home. Hey- we are good. Gas in the tank after a pair of wild OT games! 28 unanswered and you are down 28-14. It's 48-30 and you are 1-2. As a 17pt home favorite you are down 27-24 to Rice entering the 4th before the 34-27 win because Rice coughed up a fumble for a TD at their own 11. Tulane comes to town and, what a shocker, hits a FG with no time on the clock to force OT! What nightmare is this for Cougars fans as to add insult to injury, Houston kicks a FG and Tulane scores a TD to win! Now we expect them to not somehow cough up a late lead if they get one? 3 OTs in 5 games and really that Rice one could have gone OT as well. - As for Memphis. Yes, a lackluster win over a terrible Temple team. But, hello - Houston on deck - a revenge spot for last years 31-13 after Memphis had won 5 in a row in the series. One last kick in the back for Houston. It is one thing saying - oh they play close ones, take the points. That is fine if they were dogs. They were favorites in 4 of these 5 games.! 4* Money Maker MEMPHIS TIGERS
