Saint Francis vs Temple Prediction
In this Saint Francis vs Temple Prediction, Temple is coming as -18.5 home favorites. Temple has been the better team this season, as they are facing a Saint Francis squad that has won only twice in their ten games played so far and have been winless on the road. Temple has been terrible against the spread, as they have failed to cover their last seven games but this is a perfect bounce back spot against a team that is inferior both offensively and defensively, having a -12 point differential this season. I expect them home team to get the job done comfortably, so take Temple and lay the points.
