Charlotte vs. Memphis Prediction

I’m on Memphis here. I thought Charlotte was finally figuring something out, and then they got bullrushed by Navy. I don’t expect Memphis to have that kind of production, but this Memphis team just put up 52 on North Texas and I don’t think that Charlotte’s defense is any better but their offense surely isn’t on North Texas’ level. I think this one’s all Memphis in another beatdown. Give me the Tigers.
