Temple +7
Game: Connectuct at Temple
Temple +7 (-110)
Temple won five games last year, but were only credited with four. They had one stolen when a late TD was ruled out of bounds by the refs, while replays clearly showed otherwise. The Owls return all 22 starters this season, all with a fresh memory of that game. Revenge will be on their minds come Saturday. Connecticut was the luckiest team in the Big East last season, getting wins vs. Temple and Louisville that were aided by botched calls. They also got a weather break against South Florida and had a huge surplus in turnovers and relatively few injuries. They finished tied for first in the Big last despite being outgained by nearly 100 yards per game. They didn't look good against a bad Hofstra team last week, and only won because their talent was extreme vs the competition. The Huskies are just 5-14 in their last 19 on the road. The Owls are motivated and experienced to at least keep this one close, and maybe win outright.
