Point Spread: 10.50 | -107.00 Temple (Away)
Result: Loss
The set-up: UCF puts the nation's longest winning streak on the line tonight and while I'm not calling for the straight up outright loss, but I think the home side will have its hands full with the division co-leader tonight, who clearly won't be going down without a fight.
The teams: Temple is 5-3 overall, but 4-0 in league play. Last time out it knocked off previously unbeaten Cincinnati 24-17. QB Anthony Russo finished three INT's, but he also had three TD's. During the Owls three game win streak he's thrown eight of nine TD passes while posting 791 yards through the air.
UCF is averaging 44.4 PPG. QB McKenzie Milton was held out of last week's win over the Pirates, ending a string of 27 consecutive starts. Note that his status for this game is uncertain as well.
The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but UCF has struggled mightily in the month of November, going just 1-5 ATS in its last six during that period, while Temple is 41-18 ATS in its last 59 on the road. I think the Owls have a legitimate shot at winning outright, but in the end I'll recommend grabbing as may points as you can. Play on Temple.
