Princeton vs Temple Prediction
In this Princeton vs Temple Prediction, Temple is coming as -11.5 home favorites. Temple has been the far better team this season, as they have a better overall record and have been almost perfect at home, while Princeton has been winless on the road. Temple has three consecutive wins and has covered the spread in its last two games, while on the other hand, Princeton has been on a free fall lately, with seven consecutive losses and has been inferior offensively, scoring 10.3 points per game less than Temple. I expect the hosts to get the job done today, so take Temple and lay the points at home.
