Rutgers at Temple

Both these teams took some hits to graduation and the transfer portal, especially on offense. Temple managed 30 points vs an FCS team in Lafayette and turned the ball over three times. They opened the season vs a soft Duke team and did not manage to score a point on just a woeful 179 total yards. They play at a very slow tempo and through two games their games have averaged just 117 total plays per contest. Rutgers manhandled Wagner after squeezing out a come-from-behind 22-21 win vs Boston College. I think the pace that Temple plays at combined with a solid Rutgers defense that has an offense that is below average is going to gobble up the clock, lead to fewer possessions, and be a much lower-scoring game than anticipated. Make the play on the UNDER.
