2* UCLA/Temple over 44.5(4:30 pm) -This total will go down as it is really windy now but the winds will die down by game time. You might want to wait to get 43 or maybe even 42 here. While UCLA is only playing this game because it can break even financially(great motivation there), Temple is treating their 3rd bowl game in 110 years like it is the national championship. I still think the MAC is a weak league so I won't go with the Owls here. I will go with the over for a few reasons.
1. UCLA has struggled on defense all year. Flying X-country , playing in a minor bowl, in front of no fans(rumored to be less than 8,000 total tix sold for game) not sure of focus for this one. Defense for UCLA is overrated as they have allowed 23 pts or more 7 of last 9 games.
2. Temple has a nice RB in Pierce and they get their QB back in this one. Take out their last game played w/out their QB they have averaged 35 ppg all year. Granted it was vs weak competition but if UCLA isn't motivated then they become no better than the MAC teams they ran the points up on.
3. weather - The wind will slow down just in time for the game to under 10 MPH. This game will be much like last nights NFL game in which weather will be just cold making the field a bit slippery. Missed tackles could lead to big plays.
