NCAA Football Picks Rice vs Memphis: The Owls put up 56 points last week in a win over SMU.  Scoring 56 points against anyone tends to get you noticed.  It was Rice that put up the big numbers in the debut of June Jones' run-and-shoot offense at SMU.  The Owls mustered an impressive 208 yards rushing against SMU, a considerable improvement over last year’s almost non-existent rushing attack.  Chase Clement threw six touchdown passes - three to Jarett Dillard.  "They are good," Jones said, referring to the Rice offense. "They have been doing that for a year and they really exposed us. They have a nice scheme, but we have to play better, do what we are supposed to do and just play better everywhere."  The Owl Offensive Line has improved dramatically since last year and should be credited.  They will be hard to stop again this week.  The Oddsmakers at Bodoglife.com currently have Memphis -3 favorites to Rice with the total at 65 points.

Tigers lost to Old Miss last week, 41-24.  It was the first time Ole Miss scored 40 points against a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent since a 43-40 win over South Carolina on Nov. 1, 2003.  Memphis Coach Tommy West basically called out the Tiger Secondary at his press conference Monday saying they played horribly and that they “lost their guts” in man coverage.  They are going to have big trouble stopping the run and the pass of Rice tonight. 

NCAA Football Picks:  Both of these teams can put up a lot of points.  The Clement/Dilliard connection is going to be hard to deal with, but I really liked what I saw of the potential of their running game against Ole Miss.  Memphis will be real lucky to hold them under 40 points.  I'm looking at the total in this game going over as both can score.  If you are betting the side I would recommend taking Rice.  Don't forget to check out my top plays for NCAA Football Picks for Saturday.  I have some big plays going and they are all Guaranteed!
