Houston is the Vegas side tonight. I am seeing 61% on temple.
this line was at 7.5 last night and early this morning. I love me some reverse line movement and with the 9's out there that really excites me! You also have to ask yourself this...why is temple, a 4-1 team getting 7.5-9.5 points over a 3-3 Houston squad. Doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. Bol
Temple #1 in red zone defense, #6 in red zone scores per game, #8 in opponents points per play, #6 in opponents yards per point, #10 in opponents points per game, #9 in opponents offensive points per game and the list goes on and on. I respect your play Zack but posting false info is questionable. Good luck with your play tonight.
I know this, just had a serious brain fart above....that shit happens when you hit 55. If you find that guy's thread about RLM, I was the first to tell him Pinny is the benchmark for RLM movement, i.e. when those guys take a side, they take a side, no if's and's or but's. If I'm concerned about line movement in a game, they the ones I check.

i think SOS is the difference here, Houston has played BYU,UCF, and Memphis while Temple's toughest game was against Navy. This number was 7-7.5 most the week and as low as 6.5 at some point at some books, getting it at 8.5 is bad value but it doesnt mean its not still the right play

Temple's four wins have come against teams with a combined record of 6-20.
Sophomore quarterback P.J. Walker said he's not concerned about what critics say about the level of competition Temple has faced. He added that the Owls, who started last season 0-6, will not grow complacent.
"Coach Rhule makes it hard to be complacent," said Walker, who passed for 294 yards Saturday in a 35-24 win over Tulsa. "He makes us work our tails off every day, to be honest. We practice every day like we're 0-5. I'm sure nothing is going to change."
Houston represents the beginning of the meaty portion of Temple's schedule. It's the first of two road games in a row - the Owls will travel to Central Florida (3-2) the next week. On Nov. 1, conference leader East Carolina (5-1) will visit Lincoln Financial Field.
The Cougars made a switch at quarterback last week in a come-from-behind 28-24 victory at Memphis, replacing 2013 AAC rookie of the year John O'Korn with sophomore Greg Ward Jr.
A dual-threat quarterback who will be making just the second start of his career, Ward led the Cougars with 95 rushing yards - including a 64-yard scamper for a touchdown - and completed 17 of 28 passes for 188 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
The Cougars field an opportunistic defense that could spell trouble for Temple. After leading the nation last year with a plus-25 turnover margin, Houston ranks second nationally and leads the AAC with 19 turnovers forced through six games.
However, that defense will be without arguably its best player. Senior linebacker Derrick Mathews' season came to an end when he suffered a torn ligament in his left knee against Memphis. Mathews is the active leader in career tackles (400) in the Football Bowl Subdivision
Think that backs up your point.

The biggest news I read is that Houston's best defender is OUT, so that tells me that it will be tough for them to play without him.
The WILDCARD is Greg Ward Jr. and he is a player that is a game changer. If he is on I like the Cougars, but if PJ Walker (Temple QB) comes to play I like them covering the 8. LEAVING THIS GAME TO PLAY WITHOUT MY MONEY ON IT.
If I had to bet it I would take the OVER 53. Both QB's are solid, Houston's best defenders is OUT, and they will be playing on national TV = more points.
