There were no Group of Five teams in this week’s first College Football Playoff rankings.
Memphis is most likely to crack the CFP top 25, but first the Tigers need to beat Tulane tonight (9 ET, ESPN).
The line opened Memphis -6.5 and moved to -3.5 before settling at -4 at Circa Sports.
Adam Burke shares his plays on all three Friday games, but focuses on this one:
I still think Memphis is a really good team and I don’t know what Tulane really is. They’ve been all over the map this season. Recently, they beat East Carolina and Army by 7 and lost to UTSA by 22. It feels like a chance to buy a little low on the Tigers with this line coming down so much. Pick: Memphis -3.5
