The Mississippi Rebels are favored to win their matchup against the Memphis Tigers on Saturday afternoon. The Rebels' strong defense and ability to force turnovers are expected to give them an edge.
Two solid teams square off at the FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee, and Phil Naessens believes it'll be the visiting Rebels who reward their backers with a win and covers. Get set for an exciting Saturday afternoon non-conference clash when the Mississippi Rebels travel to the FedExForum for a matchup with the Memphis Tigers . The current history between the two suggests a closely contested ballgame, and my Mississippi vs. Memphis predictions expect to see that trend continue on Saturday.
The Tigers committed 18 in a home loss to Mississippi State. They committed 20 miscues in a loss to Arkansas State and 11 in a loss to Auburn. Turnovers hurt worse when teams turn errors into points. Thus far, Memphis opponents have turned the Tigers 18 turnovers per game into 20 points per night. Mississippi must be licking its chops. The Rebels thrive off the miscue. They force nearly 17 turnovers they’ve turned into an average of 20 points per night. The Rebels are extremely tidy with the rock. They boast the lowest number of turnovers per game, are terrific shooters from everywhere, and rarely beat themselves. Memphis gets away with the turnovers because they are eighth nationally in three-point shooting percentage and make the 12th-most free throws per game. That shooting wins games against most, but not against an experienced group with the fewest turnovers per game and better at everything else than Memphis is. And Mississippi IS better than Memphis at everything else. They’ll bring seven Rebels with 1000+ career points, and they’ll hold their own on the windows. What Mississippi won’t likely do is turn the ball over, and what they will do is apply tremendous pressure, force turnovers, and beat Memphis on Saturday.Memphis is only 5-5 ATS, and that’s why I chose the alternate spread. They are the favorite, and I expect them to play well, just not well enough to overcome their miscues. Both teams like to play fas
