This one might surprise some people. The national media is all over this game as a "lock of the week" for the Terps to cover and completely obliterate us in Syracuse fashion.

I think the 1 week media love affair with Maryland is over in less than 48 hours. Owls win 34-30.

Somebody in Vegas likes Temple:

Have Temple winning outright!

Amen brother. Maryland showed what they can do last week, Temple was vanilla against Bucknell. The Terps will be tougher than last year as they have a good QB, but the Owls will be ready. Don’t believe they will be any better on D; our QBs first start was against MD last year and he tore them up. Expect better this year. Owls win 37-27

Love me some Temple, but I am taking Maryland. They look legit this year.

Do it temple, we believe

I picked USF over GT. Thought there was no way the Bulls are as bad as week 1. Moral is we all make bad picks.

TUMF!!!!

Gotta contain RB MacFarlane and the Maryland wideouts. And MacFarlane is a dual threat in a big way. Does Temple have the athletes and depth on defense to stop Maryland offensive drives? Does the new Temple coaching staff have the wherewithal to figure this out?

I picked Temple in my weekly pick'em. Prove me right, Temple.

I think this Maryland team is a top 25 type team.... Possibly a top 15 type team. Great opportunity for Temple.

Two great games this weekend. Temple and UCF. Go get em you guys.

****, I forgot Houston! What a weekend.

I hate everything about the state of Maryland, with the exception of a friend who is from there and my conference brethren, the Naval Academy.

Go Owls, beat the hell out of them.

LOL, never underestimate how bad we can be! You should know better... and Its not a slap on temple. Ya'll are adjusting to change and Maryland just looks really good this year. I am rooting for temple, but if I had to put money, Its on maryland.

Let's get after it Owls! Beat Maryland!

This game was incredibly hard to pick...

If Temple defense can be "Temple tough" Temple wins convincingly.
If our defense falters in any way it will be a rough day, Maryland offense is overrated and Temple defense is underrated.

Think it will be a loser game than people think. This game belongs on CBS OTA not CBSSN... But we all know CBS only puts one conference OTA.

Go OWLS!!!

If you are referring to coaching, Maryland has a new coaching staff too. Both will be adjusting to change.

Our running game, which we are unsure of, will have to be a key to this game. Time of possession will be a key factor. Keep the ball out of Maryland's hands. Red zone defense will be key. Hold them to 3's rather than 7's.

This will be a good game. TU must get of to a good start and keep Maryland on their heels.

Iam watching this game for sure, Maryland is coming into this game drunk with success and therefore rip for a beat down, then Temple should be on the board at 20
