Memphis vs. West Virginia touchdown prediction
CJ Donaldson Jr. anytime touchdown scorer ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +110 via BetMGM | Implied probability: 47.62%
CJ Donaldson Jr. has been integral to West Virginia's success this season. He and Jahiem White have combined to rack up nearly 1,500 yards and 16 touchdowns as a two-headed monster in the Mountaineers' backfield. White has registered more carries and yards, but Donaldson is the touchdown vulture.
The junior has found the end zone nine times this season, with three TDs in the last three games. Donaldson's touches have dropped in recent weeks, but that hasn't hurt his scoring production.
He's registered 49 carries over the last five weeks - a number that's heavily inflated by 19 carries versus UCF - but he's still scored four times over that span. As a result, Donaldson's touchdown odds are listed at plus-money. We'll take advantage of the +110 odds listed by BetMGM.
Best Memphis vs. West Virginia prop picks
Garrett Greene Over 203.5 passing yards ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -114 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 53.27%
Garrett Greene's numbers don't jump off the page. He's failed to reach the 2,000-yard mark on the year, and he's got just 13 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. However, I believe the best sports betting apps are undervaluing the West Virginia quarterback in this spot.
Memphis' pass defense ranks 114th in the country, surrendering over 250 yards per contest. Greene has also surpassed this total at a 60% clip this season, and with the Mountaineers being betting underdogs, the game script should allow for Greene to air it out often.
FanDuel has the best odds for the quarterback's Over (-114).
Mario Anderson to score 2+ touchdowns ⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +125 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 44.44%
Mario Anderson stepped in for the injured Sutton Smith as Memphis' lead back this season. To say he hasn't disappointed would be an understatement as the senior has racked up 1,292 yards and 19 total touchdowns.
West Virginia comes into this game decimated by opt-outs on the defensive side of the ball. This will only make the Mountaineers' struggles defending the run even more evident. West Virginia allowed 25 rushing touchdowns this season, which is good for 106th of 133 teams nationwide.
Thus, it's no surprise to see Anderson's odds heavily juiced (-340) as an anytime touchdown scorer in the Frisco Bowl. FanDuel lists him at +125 to find the end zone twice, something he's done in two of his last six outings.
