South Florida (-7)  32   TEMPLE  29

Temple was lucky to win last week’s game at UCF but the Owls are good enough to stay close to what’s becoming an overrated USF team. South Florida’s great offensive numbers (518 yards at 7.1 yards per play) have come against a schedule of mostly bad defensive teams that would combine to allow 6.4 yppl to an average offensive team. The Bulls are still a good offensive team but Temple is the best defensive team that they’ve faced so far this season.

The Owls’ offense is a bit below average (5.7 yppl against teams that would allow 5.6 yppl to an average team) but South Florida is only 0.2 yppl better than average defensively (5.5 yppl allowed to teams that would average 5.7 yppl) so Temple should have some opportunities to score. The math model is picking this one closer than those that set the odds and I’d certainly prefer Temple plus the points.
