This is an 8* play on Temple.

We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics:

As note that Temple is 10-2 ATS in its last 12 on the road and 8-3 ATS in its last 11 as an underdog, while Maryland is just 5-7 ATS in its last 12 at home and only 1-3 ATS in its last four after two or more consecutive SU victories.

The bottom line: The Owls are 0-2 and desperate. The defense returns several starters from a solid unit, so the ability to return to form is there. The Terps have looked great on both sides of the ball in the early going, but with a game at home against Minnesota next weekend, there's no doubt that this sets up as a natural letdown spot for the home side. Grab the points, play on TEMPLE.
