#138 Temple –2.5 over UAB 12:00 PM CT

UAB won despite being -4 in turnovers last week against 1-8 Charlotte as the Blazers need one more win for the program’s first bowl bid since 2022. This is the week to get that sixth win as the final two vs. UTSA and North Texas will likely be significantly more challenging games with larger underdog spreads. Temple has five one-score losses this season as the Owls have been competitive despite the 2-7 record. Temple is 32nd nationally in yards per play this season compared to UAB being 131st for a massive gap though on defense the rankings are nearly reversed but this pricing as effectively an even pairing with a small bump for Temple’s home field does check out despite the records.  UAB is winless in four road games this season, losing two non-conference games and two AAC games and scoring 23, 14, 13, and 10 in those four games. UAB has scored a great total of 50 points in regulation over the past four games but wound up with 13 points in overtime of the team’s best win against East Carolina. Temple may not have a lot to play for with no chance of improving on last season’s 5-7 campaign in K.C. Keeler’s second season but the production results have offered much more promise than the record has shown and this will be one of the team’s best opportunities, with colder conditions also likely providing an advantage for the Owls with UAB traveling north. Temple is on a 17-2 S/U and 13-6 ATS run as a home favorite going back to 2018. UAB is 2-26 S/U and 8-19-1 ATS in road games since 2022.
