This is your typical sucker line. Temple is 0-6 and playing a team with 3 wins in Army. The public says, how can the winless team be favored or near pickem situation? A closer look shows that Temple has played a very tough schedule including Notre Dame, Cincy and Louisville. Army has been dismal on the road the last three years, covering just one of its last 12 games away from home. Temple has also owned Army beating them by an average of 21 ppg the last 5 meetings. Temple limps into its homecoming weekend game winless at 0-6, but those losses came against the likes of Louisville, Cincinnati, Notre Dame and Houston. First-year head coach Matt Rhule knows this is one of the few winnable games on the schedule, so he'll have his team fully focused and ready for a win on the Seniors big Homecoming game. The Owls are 6-2 straight up and 7-1 ATS against Army in the last eight meetings and last year the Temple offense erupted for 565 yards of offense in a 63-32 rout as a 3-point dog. True freshman QB P.J. Walker made his starting debut last week against Cincinnati and played well enough to get another start here in a much more manageable situation. Lay the short number with Temple on Saturday.
