Here, we will break down this Middle Tennessee vs Memphis matchup on September 28, 2024 at 7:30 pm ET.

Middle Tennessee Searching For First FBS Win

The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders are 1-3 this season and have lost three straight games. After winning their season opener against Tennessee Tech of the FCS, the Blue Raiders have dropped games to Ole Miss, Western Kentucky, and Duke. Here, Middle Tennessee will look for its first win against an FBS opponent on the season. To get that, they will need to find a way to play better defense than they have against the rest of their FBS opponents, as the Blue Raiders have given up 45 or more points in three straight outings.

Can Memphis Defense Rebound From Shocking Performance?

The Memphis Tigers are 3-1 this season, which is certainly a positive start. But their last outing was anything but a positive, as they lost 56-44 on the road against the Navy Midshipmen to start their season in the American Athletic Conference. Memphis gave up 361 rushing yards in that game, allowing Navy to rush for 9.3 yards per carry. There are very few teams that are as big a threat on the ground as Navy, but the Tigers will still have to be more consistent in defending the run to avoid a second straight surprising loss.

Middle Tennessee vs Memphis Best Bet

It is hard to see anyone winning this Middle Tennessee vs Memphis matchup other than the Memphis Tigers. But their defense has raised some red flags of late and we find it difficult to justify laying so many points with them in this contest. Instead, we will take the over in this game, as Memphis should put up plenty of points while Middle Tennessee should do just enough to help this game get over the total against a Memphis team that showed last week it can be scored on.
