WHO: The Florida Atlantic Owls (7-5, 7-4
ATS) vs. the Memphis Tigers (7-5 SU, 5-5-1
ATS)
WHEN & WHERE:
December 21, 8 PM EST at the Louisiana
Superdome (artificial turf)
BETUS
COLLEGE FOOTBALL BETTING LINE: FLORIDA
ATLANTIC -2.5, Total 67
LAST POINTSPREAD RESULT: Florida Atlantic
won the Sun Belt Conference title with a
38-32 win over Troy as a 16-point underdog
on December 1. Memphis beat SMU 55-52 in
triple overtime on November 24, failing to
cover as the 6.5-point home favorite.
ABOUT FLORIDA ATLANTIC:
The Good News -- Sophomore QB Rusty Smith
had a breakout year, throwing for 3352 yards
and 27 touchdown passes with just eight interceptions.
Coach Howard Schnellenberger has coached
in four bowl games, winning and covering
all four. His team forced a lot of turnovers
(33), compiling a +19 turnover margin, the
best in the country.
The Bad News -- When stepping up in class,
Sun Belt champ FAU has often been overmatched.
The Owls have lost to Oklahoma State (42-6),
Kentucky (45-17) and Florida (59-20) by wide
margins, though they managed to stay with
then-#2 South Florida for a while before
going down to a 35-23 defeat. FAU also ranked
dead last in punt returns with only three
yards per game.
FLORIDA ATLANTIC TRENDS:
* FAU is 2-10 ATS in its last 12 non-conference
games
* FAU has played seven straight games OVER
the total
* FAU has won four of its last six games
SU
* FAU has allowed 33.8 ppg this season
ABOUT MEMPHIS:
The Good News
-- QB Martin Hankins (61%, 2939 yards),
a former pupil of Hal Mumme's system, threw
for 22 touchdowns this season. The Tigers
averaged over 300 yards per game through
the air. Memphis wound up with a +9 turnover
ratio, not necessarily by playing "takeaway" with
its defense, but by being stingy with the
ball, coughing up only 16 turnovers.
The Bad News -- Memphis ranks 110th in the
country in defending against the run, giving
up 214 yards per game, 5.2 yards per carry
and 24 rushing TD's. The Tigers also suffered
losses to Sun Belt members Arkansas State
(35-31) and Middle Tennessee (21-7). And
there was little pass rush, as the Tigers
registered just 14 sacks. At the outset of
the season, Memphis was hopeful of coming
away with the Conference USA title, so obviously
this season has served up a disappointment
of sorts.
MEMPHIS TRENDS:
* MEM has won five of its last six games
SU
* MEM has played five UNDERS in its last
eight games
* MEM coach Tommy West is 4-2 ATS in bowl
games
THE BOTTOM
LINE: If you look at FAU, it is a rather
unremarkable team that not only has been
exposed to an extent when it has moved
up in level of competition. And this is
the first bowl experience for this program,
which makes for an uneasy favorite. The Owls,
in order to be successful, have had to cash
in on opponents' miscues. That would be one
thing if Memphis was particularly mistake-prone,
but the Tigers are not. So the opportunities
may not be plentiful for Schnellenberger's
team to find favorable situations to score.
We do not want to lay the points with a team
like FAU, so we're on the "take" with
Memphis, the 2.5-point underdog in the BetUS
college football betting odds.
