Memphis is an 11-point road favorite at Tulsa on Friday, according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The Tigers' upset as a 10-point underdog over Ole Miss earned some immediate respect for the AAC, which could make for an interesting debate come playoff time should the Tigers, Houston Cougars or Temple Owls run the table. Tulsa is 4-1 SU and ATS in its last five games against Memphis dating back to 2005.
Fortunately for Ole Miss, the loss came out-of-conference, which means that the Rebels still control their own destiny in the SEC West. Mississippi is a 4-point favorite at home this Saturday hosting the Texas A&M Aggies.
The Aggies also suffered a tough loss last Saturday, falling 41-23 to the Alabama Crimson Tide at home as quarterback Kyle Allen threw three interceptions returned for touchdowns. Texas A&M is 2-6 ATS over its last eight road games in the SEC per the OddsShark College Football Database.

No one has had an answer for the Baylor Bears’ offensive attack this season. Baylor is averaging over 10 points per game more than the next closest team in the nation at 63.8 points per game, and has covered the spread in each of the team’s last four games.
The Bears will try to cover another big number this Saturday when they host the Iowa State Cyclones as a 36.5-point home favorite. The Oklahoma Sooners bounced back from a 24-17 loss against Texas with a 55-0 blowout road win over the Kansas State Wildcats.
Oklahoma will try to roll that momentum into another big performance at home as a 15-point favorite over the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The Sooners are 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS in their last three games against the Red Raiders.
The Michigan State Spartans will try to avoid a letdown performance coming off their wild win over Michigan this Saturday as a 16.5-point favorite at home against Indiana. The Spartans are 6-0 SU in their last six games against Indiana but just 1-5 ATS.
