South Florida +10½
Memphis is coming off a 26-point victory over Wichita State, but the Tigers have tended to play close contests. South Florida has a signature win over Florida State showing the Bulls are dangerous if taken lightly.
Given Penny Hardaway’s squad’s propensity to keep things close, we’re taking South Florida to cover the spread at the sportsbook.
Best Prop Bet: First Shot of the Game Made- Yes (+125)
This is a bit of a coin-flip bet in Las Vegas odds. I do like the first shot to be a made basket which essentially allows you to back a red-hot Memphis offense. Roll the dice and take the plus odds with this fun bet to start the game.
