It's difficult to lay this many points with Temple, which has lost three straight and had some horrible shooting performances in the meantime. The Owls shot 26.7 percent in a home loss to Cincinnati before also losing at Central Florida and SMU. Temple has a .405 shooting percentage for the season and have averaged 56 points its last three contests. Obi Enechionyia and Shizz Alston Jr. scored 14 points apiece against SMU as the Owls made 24 of 61 shots overall. East Carolina hasn't been much better offensively, but the Pirates have held opponents to just 36.4 percent from the field, which doesn't bode well for the cold-shooting Owls. East Carolina has covered nine of its last 11 road games and the Pirates are 6-2 ATS after a loss. Grab the points and play East Carolina.
