Knowing what has to happen in order for them to get to the postseason, I expect Memphis to come out firing on all cylinders against Rice. Considering how they stubbed their toe vs UAB after a big win vs Arkansas, I don't expect them to overlook the Owls.

I like Memphis here all week, but watching Tulane lose on the road makes me like the Tigers more. That game will ensure the Tigers don't take this one for granted, as will their rush defense against a team that runs almost exclusively.
