Memphis Tigers 2024 Season Preview

Memphis has been one of the most successful programs since joining the American Athletics Conference (AAC) in 2013. It started with a 3-9 season, but they've qualified for a bowl game in 10 straight years. That includes winning the Liberty Bowl last season against Iowa State.

The Tigers reached double-digit wins last season, marking the fourth time they've accomplished that feat in the last 10 years. Head coach Ryan Silverfield has not lost a bowl game in his four-year tenure.

Memphis failed to reach the AAC Championship Game last season, but they're a strong favorite (-110) to play in the title game in 2024. In fact, they have the best odds at DraftKings Sportsbook (+220) to win the AAC Championship Game.

Quarterback Seth Henigan returns for his fourth season at Memphis. Last season, he set career highs across the board with a 66.8 completion percentage, 3,883 passing yards, and 32 touchdowns. He'll have a big boost with 1,000-yard receive Roc Taylor back in the fold.

It was a high-powered offense that led Memphis in 2023. We'll likely see much of the same in 2024 as the Tigers aim for their third AAC Conference Title.

Memphis Tigers Point Spreads

Memphis should be the favorite in most games, so you may have to bet on the spread to find value.

The point spread represents the margin by how many points one team will defeat another. If your team has a (-) symbol, it means the team must win by that number of points. The (+) symbol means that the team is the underdog.

• Tulane Green Wave -4.5 (-110)
• Memphis Tigers +4.5 (-110)

In this example, Memphis must win or lose by less than four points to cover the spread. Tulane must win by 5+ points to cover the spread and win the bet.

Memphis Tigers Over/Unders

If you don't want to bet which team will win or lose, you can opt for the point total. Each game will have a projection for the total points scored, and you must decide if that game will feature more or less points.

• Boise State Broncos vs. Memphis Tigers Over/Under 57.5 Points

This matchup from the 2023 season ended with a 35-32 final score. Therefore, you would've won your bet if you wagered on the over since there were 67 total points. If the game ended 24-20, everyone who bet on the under would've won.

Memphis Tigers Moneyline

The simplest bet for any sport is the moneyline. It only requires you to determine which team will win or lose. The downside to moneyline betting is the favorite doesn't provide much value, especially if they're playing a bad team.

Last season, Memphis was a -1500 favorite against Arkansas State. It would've taken a $1,500 bet just to win $100. On the other side, if you bet on the Arkansas State ML (+900), a $100 bet would've paid out $900 if they pulled off the upset.

Memphis Tigers Props

Prop betting is complicated with college sports because states have restrictions. If you're betting on Memphis from the state of Tennessee, you won't have access to player props. There are game props that extend beyond players.

For game props, you can bet on markets like first-half winner, total team points, correct score, etc. If you live in a state that allows player props for college football, you can bet on passing yards, rushing yards, touchdowns, and more.

Memphis Tigers Futures

There are multiple ways to bet on Memphis before the 2024 season begins. We mentioned their odds to qualify for the AAC Championship Game and to win the title game. You can also bet on Memphis having more or less than nine wins in 2024. Memphis is +120 to go over the projection and -155 to have less than nine wins.

If you want to go bold, Memphis is +100000 to win the National Championship, and QB Seth Henigan is +25000 to win the Heisman Trophy.
