Is it supposed to rain?

No rain in the forecast, thankfully for us. Based on the Maryland and Georgia Tech scores you have to think points will be at a premium. I am really worried about this game...but frankly there is not another game on the schedule that I would be shocked to lose. Likewise on the win side, so should be fun and interesting remainder of the season. Just don't turn it over and give them short fields this week and break a few big plays and I think we can take it.

Memphis 24- Temple 17

Memphis are 4-1 ATS over the last 5 games. Temple is 2-5 ATS in their last 7. Current lines have the Tigers -5.5 with the over/under 50.5. Take the Tigers and the over. Tigers 38 - Temple 27. Lock of the week.

Don't care as long as we get the Win

I thought we are 5-0 ATS? Maybe the FCS game doesn't count, and you're going back to the bowl game last year?

What about the other 3 games Temple D has played, with below average results?

Bucknell did nothing.

ECU was under 3 YPC. Nothing really hurt us through the air. About 30% of their yards were in garbage time.

Buffalo put up 279 yards of offense. They passed for 62 yards. They had one TD all game that wasn't set up because of a turnover.

Drive 1 @ their own 30: INT 6 plays, 9 yards
Drive 2 @ their own 30: FG 13 plays, 40 yards
Drive 3 @ Temple's 7: TD 2 plays, 7 yards
Drive 4 @ their own 33: Punt 3 plays, -1 yards
Drive 5 @ Temple's 19: TD 3 plays, 19 yards
Drive 6 @ their own 16: TD 14 plays, 84 yards
Drive 7 @ their own 3 (post-INT): Punt 3 plays, 8 yards
Drive 8 @ their own 37: Punt 7 plays, 23 yards
Drive 9 @ Temple's 23: TD 4 plays, 23 yards
Drive 10 @ Temple's 34: Punt 3 plays, -2 yards
Drive 11 @ their own 29: Missed FG 10 plays, 44 yards
Drive 12 @ Their own 19: Punt 3 plays, 8 yards

So that's 21 points when they were already in striking distance, plus another 7 off a pick six. Other than that, they put up 10 points and 213 yards on 9 drives.

As great as our D was in shutting down Maryland in inopportune situations, it's asking a helluva lot of any defense to shut down a team 3x inside your own 25.

Buffalo's offense had really one good drive the entire game.

If they're all FGs, we still lose.

Tigers 31 -Owls 21

I have a bad feeling about this game.....34-14 bad guys.

No we were a 41 point favorite against Southern. Score was 55 - 24. We did hit the over on that game 68.5.

You held Bucknell to 12 points. They're only averaging 13.8. Average.

You had a good Maryland game. Here, here.

You couldn't keep Buffalo out of the endzone - short field or not. BUFFALO.

You gave up over 300 yards to Ga Tech and to ECU. Our offense is not Ga Tech or ECU.

Truth is, other than Maryland, your defense has been average.

Temple's defense hasn't been average in 5 years. But tomorrow we will have answers to all the questions. That's why they play the games. Good Luck.

Bucknell scored on a pick six. They scored 6 on us.

Buffalo has two very good RBs who gave us problems. It's pretty ridiculous to expect your D to shut down a D-I offense when they're given a short field so many times.

You gave up 24 to ******* Southern.
You gave up 33 points on nearly 600 yards to ULM. ULM ain't LSU.

We can play this bull**** game all day, but we both know it has zero bearing on the outcome tomorrow.

Well I think the argument was about Temple's D being average, We know our defense is average!

Actually, it's not. We are two of the best defenses in the conference.
