Both Memphis Tigers and the UCF Knights are coming into this American Athletic Conference opener for both teams undefeated.

I really like the Knights in this spot. Their defense has allowed an average of just 13.5 points and outgaining their opponents by a combined 492 yards through two games; a dominant victory against FIU and most recently an impressive 38-10 win as a 4-point dog on the road at Maryland.

The Tigers have beaten up on UL Monroe and Southern Illinois as large favorites with a 48-45 win as a 3-point dog against UCLA sandwiched in. We can however note that this will be Memphis' first game on the road this season and that the Tigers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 vs. a team with a winning record.

Memphis has a ton of injuries on the defensive side of the ball and allowed Southern Illinois' QB Sam Straub to throw for 290 yards and four touchdowns last week. UCF sophomore QB Milton McKenzie leads the conference in total offense at 318 yards per game and I think he'll have a big day here leading the Knights to a convincing victory.

My selection is an 8* play on UCF Knights.
