For Memphis vs. Florida Atlantic, the model projects that FAU covers as an 8-point favorite. The Owls' strength of their outside shooting should be magnified in this matchup considering Memphis' weakness is defending the perimeter. The Tigers rank in the bottom three of the AAC in both 3-pointers allowed and 3-point percentage allowed, while FAU ranks third in the conference in FGs made from beyond the arc and fourth in 3-point percentage.
While Memphis prevailed when these teams met last week, that game was at home, and the Tigers haven't been as effective on the road. They are 2-4 over their last six away games, giving up an average of 82.5 points over that stretch. Meanwhile, FAU has won 11 straight games at home and is averaging 84.1 ppg during this span. The highly efficient Owls offense should be too much for Memphis to handle, as the model projects FAU to cover nearly 60% of the time. Stream the game here.
