2022 First Responder Bowl: College Football Same Game Parlays Picks & Predictions: Tuesday (Memphis vs. Utah State)
Tuesday’s matchup in Dallas will feature two teams that are on opposite trajectories, as the Memphis Tigers have been in free fall since the beginning of October. The Tigers dropped their regular-season finale on November 26th, 31-34, continuing a trend of a defense that hasn’t been able to stop anything, with Tulsa being the only Division I team they’ve kept in relative check since October started.
For Utah State, things have gotten significantly better as the season has progressed. The Aggies also dropped their regular-season finale (at Boise State, 23-43), but they went on to win five of six games to secure their second consecutive bowl eligibility. Given that he saw this Memphis club in early 2020 while coaching Arkansas State, Utah State head coach Blake Anderson should have the advantage in this contest.
I think Utah State will win, and in the process, I anticipate a high-scoring contest. Despite their recent losing streak, the Tigers average 35 points per game, so expect one more explosive effort from them before this season wraps up. I like for a fast start from both teams to take this one over the total.
