Memphis is a strong offensive team, but the Tigers have had some issues hitting the over when playing Tulane. The Green Wave are very reliant on their run game, as they average just 100 passing yards per contest, so if Memphis can stop that, they should be in good shape. On the flip side, Tulane has been very good against the pass. While Memphis should still have some success through the air, it won’t likely be the usual success it is accustomed to. Look for this game to be somewhat of a struggle for both.
