Temple vs Charlotte Prediction 

Temple comes into this matchup on a four-game losing streak and they will be on the road for this game. The Owls are shooting 45% from the field this year and their offense has been fine, but their defense has been very bad over the last few weeks. Temple has allowed at least 80 points in five straight games and they are 0-4 in their last four road games. Charlotte has lost five of their last six games and they are shooting just 42.3% from the field this season. The 49ers have scored at least 75 points in three of their last five games, but they have also allowed at least 75 points in four of their last five. Neither team is playing much defense right now and their first meeting ended with 179 total points, so take the over here.
