Temple at Cincinnati

This is not a vintage, or typical Temple type of team. The Owls are off to a 5-9 start, and have lost their first four games in conference play. The good news is that this team is a lot more competitive than their record states, as none of the four conference losses have come by more than 10 points. Overall, none of their nine losses on the season have come by more than 14 points. Cincinnati is 15-2 and their work on the defensive end is the reason. The defense has helped them overcome a not-so prolific offense. They have not topped the 74-point mark in their last 10 games, except against lowly Chicago State, so covering the bundle here is going to be a tall order. The Owls have come up big after a 10+ point loss at home at 5-0 ATS in their last five, and have enough to stay in touch here. Grab the points and play on Temple.
