Ohio @ Temple -3
under 43

We are blessed to have action on a Tuesday night. If things hold accord it probably won't be a lot of action. Both teams come in at 2-5 and off the bye.

U is 9-1 in Temple last 10 conf games.
U is 12-2 in Temple last 14 games.
U is 13-3-1 in Temple last 17 home games.
U is 4-1 in Ohio last 5 road games.

Ohio 2-4 ats O/U
Owls 2-5 ats O/U

Temple gives up 19.3 ppg but only 9 1/2 ppg at home. They have already had scores of 7-3 and 12-9 at home in conf games this year.

Temple is 5-1 ats last 6 home games.
Temple is 13-3 ats last 16 conf games.
Temple is 5-1 ats last 6 bye games.

So they got themselves a TV game on a Tuesday night. They are trying real hard to fill the stands up. In the spirit of the world series they are letting any Philly fans in the game for $10.00 as long as they wear pink. So they have the breast cancer thing going to in this game.

Ohio injury list is long and they are missing some linemen for this game. Ohio beat Temple last year 23-7 at Ohio. I'm thinking Temple returns the favor.

Good luck whatever way you go

I disagree, I think Ohio will come out on top in this game. Good luck to you though!:toast:

United..good write up...better defense should control the game..Temple wins 27-16

Ohio is underrated.. They haven't had many easy games. They put up great fights on the road against Ohio State and Northwestern and have already faced two of the tougher MAC teams in Central Michigan and Western Michigan.

Temple's offense hasn't been nearly as effective since QB Adam DiMichele went down with his season ending injury. Chester Stewart has averaged 4.94 yards/pass with 4 Tds and 7 Int's.

Miami OH, Western Michigan, and Central Michigan all had their season best defensive performance (statistically) against Temple's offense.

I really like Ohio getting the points here. I think they should be able to put up 21 points or more without a problem, which will be a problem for the Owls.

I'm with ya on the under. I have no idea who has the advantage though. My predicted score came out to be Temple -3 so I'm not touching that. GL!

Leaning towards Ohio and the under. I'm only playing one though and i'm not sure which one i like more yet. I think Ohio is the play here but it's still early,

Kristianw, welcome to a great site.


18677, I hope you 1 point off at least


Sekrah, Yes they have had a very tough schedule, but Ohio ST had USC on deck, while NW had Iowa in it's big 10 opener to worry about, and CM had Purdue on deck, of course I think those teams maybe wern't quite as concerned with Ohio. Back up did go 16 for 25 last week and has been playing better. Good luck as one of us will get a W:toast:

Sports Whiz, That's one strange prediction, g/l

Jetro, Gata, I'll wish you good luck but you know I don't mean it:toast:

MF, always check out your write-ups. A couple of years ago you were money in college hoops!

Rowdy, Pretty sure he's not playing as everything I've read talks about the back-up. He also missed last years game at Ohio. I did read where temple leads the nation in kick-off returns averaging 30 a kick-off.

2-0 night
22-17

Gladly take the gift on the Temple cover. I can't believe how conservative Ohio played in the second half.

 

[MistaFlava]

great call tonight buddy!

 

[United]

Thanks, a Ohio score at the end and you would have been right on.

I know you thought I had a strange prediction, but you gotta give me props for being off by a total of one point in the game. Congrats on the win!

When ytou said predicted score, I thought you meant you had Temple scoring negative -3. Now I see you meant the line Temple -3.

Nice call:toast:
