rank

rating (points, neutral field)
25-57
record (2025)
-7.2
vs market (Earl \u2212 line)
Memphis sits at 25th with a -6.739 neutral-field rating, meaning they're roughly a touchdown worse than an average team, and that's a real improvement from last year's -13.172 prior rating. The market has them at -7.23 versus my number, so the books are pricing them slightly worse than the data suggests, which makes them a marginal buy at the current line. Their 4-0 record is doing a lot of work here, but a -9.04 strength of schedule says that start came against soft competition, so don't overpay for the wins.
