Memphis suffered a heart breaking loss to Tennessee-Martin last week. Memphis will have a tough time bouncing back on the road against Arkansas State. A win for the Tigers isn't out of the question, but it will be a long shot.

Here's the picks for this week.

Last Week: 4-2
Season: 4-2 (66%)

Rhodes over Washington University in St. Louis
Arkansas State over Memphis
Florida over Texas A&M
Tennessee State over Jackson State
New Orleans Saints over Washington Redskins
New England Patriots over Tennessee Titans

Weekly Liberty Bowl Projection: Southern Miss vs Auburn

Even with a blowout loss to Nebraska, USM may still be the class of C-USA. It looks like Auburn will struggle this year and find its way to Memphis during bowl season.
