Temple Team Preview

The Temple Owls have had a mixed start to their season. They secured a big win against Howard Bison, scoring 55-7. But, they faced tough losses to Oklahoma Sooners and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

The offense shows potential, but consistency is lacking. They rank 112th in passing yards and 67th in rushing yards. Jay Ducker leads the rushing attack with 315 yards in four games.

Defensively, Temple ranks 71st in points against. They are strong in sacks and interceptions, ranking 13th and 4th respectively. Injuries to key players like Jake Woods and Joquez Smith might impact their upcoming games.

BTB Betting Pick

For the spread pick, take UTSA to cover -6.5 against Temple. UTSA has scored 125 points this season, ranking 54th, while Temple has scored 124 points, ranking 55th. UTSA’s defense ranks 86th in points against, which is slightly worse than Temple’s 71st, but their offense should be able to outpace Temple.

For the over/under pick, go with the under 58.0 total points. Both teams have similar offensive outputs with UTSA scoring 125 and Temple scoring 124 points this season. Their defensive ranks are close too, with UTSA at 86th and Temple at 71st. The projected score might be close, but it is unlikely to exceed the total line of 58 points.
