Taking VILLANOVA tonight. Not normally a big fan of taking big road faves. Especially when I am laying points with the newly crowned '#1' ranked team in the land. I think Nova is a very good team. I don't when all is said and done if they are the best. That is why we play the games. But I think they are better than Temple. And there are the talking points. Home dog facing #1 team. Home dog in a rivalry. Make no mistake, this Philly 5 Series (Nova, Temple, St Joe's, LaSalle, Penn) is a big deal to the team. Villanova has swept through going 4-0 the last 4 years. They have already destroyed St Joe's by 41. They beat LaSalle by 9. But, that was also off their Gonzaga game. So maybe a bit of a 'going through the motions.' I just can't see Temple keeping pace here. Wildcats should pull away for a double digit win. 4* Money Maker VILLANOVA
