AAA's EARLY SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION (+$4,362 Y-T-D NCAAB!)
(NCAAB) Temple vs. Memphis,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -110.00 Memphis (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on Memphis.

For a number of different reasons I expect the home side to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable ATS cover. Memphis is 14-8 overall and 6-3 in The American. Temple is 16-7 overall and 7-3 in league play. The Tigers come in on quite a roll, they've won 12 of their last 17, with losses coming against Oklahoma State, Tulane, SMU, Tulsa and Gonzaga. The Owls also come in with momentum after winning four straight; note prior to the win skein Temple had dropped three straight with losses to Tulsa, SMU and Cincinnati. Both teams are obviously pretty evenly matched according to the oddsmakers, each ranks in the top half of the AAC in several defensive statistical categories. I simply can't understate how important I think the home court advantage will be today though, since 2004 the Tigers have won 188 games at FedExForum, the most home wins in the country over that span of time; note that Memphis owns a 188-24 overall record vs. opponents at home. And note, those numbers get even more impressive when looking at conference foes since 2005, an incredible 86-6 record at FedExForum vs. conference opponents. Note that Temple is 6-8 ATS vs. teams with winning records this season, while Memphis is 8-4 ATS when playing the role of favorite and 7-4 ATS in all true home games this year. In my opinion, the situation, the numbers and the trends do all indeed point to the TIGERS as the sharp move in this one.
