Temple vs Tulsa Prediction

Tulsa is the better team and has the offense to give Temple a world of fits. However, this is a lot of points, as Temple is a solid defensive side that’s won five games on the road. Temple competes and is better than its record. The underdog has covered the last 4 games between Temple and Tulsa. Temple is 5-2 ATS in its last 7 games as a double-digit underdog. This line feels a bit too thick. Give me the points with the Owls on the road.
