A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for the UTSA and Temple game.
UTSA has all kinds of confidence right now and they have won two straight games. Two games against UIW, UTSA was able to secure the 48-20 victory. In the last game against it was Colorado State, it wasn’t as dominant, but they were able to secure the 17-16 victory. Owen McCown is under center and he completed 14 of his 27 passes for 173 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Robert McHenry Jr also had a wild game on the ground and he finished with 21 carries for 144 yards and a touchdown.
UTSA on the season is averaging 31.2 points while their defense is giving up 30.2 points per game. The offense is ranked 63rd in the league while the defense is ranked 114th. In this game, a few things need to happen, they can’t get get out to a slow start and they can’t turn the ball over if they want to come out ahead.
Temple has lost each of its last 12 October games as an underdog. The favorite has won 18 of Temple’s last 19 games. The favorite has covered the spread in five of Temple’s last six games at Lincoln Financial Field. Temple has failed to cover the spread in four of its last five home games against teams from Texas. UTSA has won the first half in 20 of its last 26 games against conference opponents.
Temple won the first two games of the season, but since that point they have lost two games in a row. Two games ago against Oklahoma, Temple lost 42-3 and in the last game against Georgia Tech they were knocked off 45-24. At the end of the first quarter, they were down 21-0 and by the time they figured out, it was a little too late. Evan Simon was under center and he completed 12 of his 27 passes for 127 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. Jay Ducker also finished with 14 carries for 76 yards and a touchdown.
Temple on the season is averaging 31 points while their defense is giving up 26 points per game. The offense is ranked 67th while the defense is ranked 86th. On the season he has also rushed for 113 yards.
Temple is really struggling heading into this game but I think this is too many points to be laying UTSA. Owen McCown had some turnover issues in his last game and he’s going to struggle with the turnovers again here. Temple is still averaging 31 points and they are going to find some sort of offensive success here. Evan Simon is going to throw more than 127 yards, and he will find the end zone a couple of times. I wouldn’t be shocked if Temple wins this game outright, but we will take the points to be safe. Back Temple against the spread.
