Ohio +3.0 (-110)
Tue Oct 21 '08 8:00p

The Ohio Bobcats and Temple Owls are two teams that are not accustomed to the national television spotlight, so at least these Tuesday ESPN games are giving the smaller schools some exposure.

That said, we would not trust wither of these 2-5 teams as favorites, making Ohio virtually an automatic selection as underdogs. This is not to say that the Bobcats do not have merit here for other reasons, as at least they enter this contest on a positive note after winning 26-19 on the road at Kent State last week.
The Bobcats also have a respectable offense, as they are averaging 23.9 points and 370.9 total yards per game, including 240.7 passing yards on a good 7.1 yards per pass attempt. Thus, they are capable of hitting a few big plays vs. a Temple defense that is not as good vs. the pass (6.7 yards per attempt) as it is vs. the run (3.7 yards per rush).
Comparatively, the Owls are only averaging 17.1 points and 266.6 total yards per game, and their offense has gone downhill since losing starting quarterback Adam DiMichele for the season. His backup, Chester Stewart, has been abysmal, completing just 50 percent of his passes while averaging a poor 4.94 yard per attempt, with seven interceptions vs. only four touchdown passes.
A healthier Ohio squad is simply the better team right now, so take the points even on the road here.

Game: Ohio at Temple Oct 21 2008 8:00PM
Prediction: under

Reason: Play Under Ohio U/Temple at 8:00 ET. Points have certainly been at a premium this year in Philadelphia! The Temple Owls come in averaging just 6.0 PPG at home this season while allowing just 9.5 PPG. Are you kidding me? Their two home games have resulted in 12-9 and 7-3 finals. And no one is going to confuse this OU with Oklahoma as the Bobcats average just 17.6 PPG outside of Athens, almost a full touchdown less than their season average. Temple is 11-1 Under at home coming off an ATS loss, a run that stretches all the way back to 1992. Take Under.

Indian Cowboy Update for Tuesday..


Ohio vs. Temple
Note that the line here is Temple -3 as around 60% of the public favors the small home chalk here. Temple and Ohio are both 2-5 and there is a reason why the line is as low as it is. Of course, keep in mind that Ohio's quarterback Boo Jackson has thrown for 9 touchdowns and 8 interceptions while passing for more than 1300 yards while both Temple Quarterbacks have combined to throw for 9 interceptions. I have to be honest with you, I have never been a fan of the dual quarterback system such as what Spurrier ran a bit and what Temple is running here between DiMichelle and Stewart. Heck, these guys have combined for 10 interceptions. Ohio comes off a big win at Kent State where they were favored by 1 point as they ended up winning that agme on the road 26-19. Temple, comes off a dissappointing loss at Central Michigan as they return home. Thus, Temple is on the bounce-back here, but once again, it's not like they do not lose home games as they lost to Western Michigan 3-7 at home back on September 27th. But, Temple does have revenge as Ohio won last year by a score of 23-7 at home as they easily covered the 9 point spread. Thus, I like Ohio here a bit, but of course, Temple has revenge and are at home. There is conflicting research here. As per the total, there is conflicting evidence once again as I lean on the under, but with that being said Ohio could very well be an active dog and win outright. Yet, it is a conference game which typically means it leans on the under. Thus, I am staying as far away as I can with this game.

double-dime bet102 Temple -3.0 (-110) BetUS vs 101 Ohio
Analysis: Stan is Betting Temple tonight. Stan notes that neither team sports a potent offensive attack but Temple playing a rare TV game at home will have the crowd pumped and will help lead the home team to a hard fought win. Stan looks for Temple to win by 7 -10 points. TAKE TEMPLE as STAN'S MAC CONFERENCE BIG BET OF THE MONTH and make them a DOUBLE DIME PLAY.
