Cardinals vs Owls NCAA Football Spread\/Handicapping<\/h2>\n

Too bad we are not talking hoops where this matchup would have been greatly anticipated. The Owls are back in the Big East but with a team a notch below the one that competed hard in the MAC the last couple of seasons. <\/p>\n

Temple Owls (3-4) vs #10 Louisville Cardinals (8-0)
\nSaturday November 3
\nPapa John\u2019s Stadium – Louisville, KY
\n12:00PM
\nMoneyline: Louisville -800, Temple +550
\nSpread: Louisville -16
\nO\/U: 51<\/strong><\/p>\n

Temple<\/strong><\/p>\n

Still Temple is 2-2 in conference and looking to spoil Louisville\u2019s perfect season. \u00a0It is not going to be an easy task as the Owls got roughed up by a Pitt squad that is currently below them in the conference standings.<\/p>\n

In some ways the fact that Temple is 3-4 is astounding given they have one of the least productive offenses in the nation. \u00a0Their running game featuring transfer Montel Harris and Matt Brown can be effective but their passing game generates next to nothing. \u00a0Starting QB Chris Coyer has yet to break 1000 yards on the season but at least he doesn\u2019t turn the ball over and can create plays with his running ability – he is second on the team.<\/p>\n

This is another one of those situations where you have a big number vs a team that is not high scoring. \u00a0It wouldn\u2019t shock me if this one finished 17-3 for Louisville but 24 or 28-3 also seem possible and those would be easy covers. \u00a0I don\u2019t think you can play the Temple side though. \u00a0Being one dimensional against a good defense is tough sledding.

Louisville<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until they lose the Louisville Cardinals are going to be part of the great debate. \u00a0They are undefeated but just how good is this team? \u00a0The last couple of weeks they have been cutting it close winning by a combined 5 points and most of their victories have been pretty tight hence the 3-5 ATS record. \u00a0The Cardinals may lose but I don\u2019t think the Owls are going to be able to break the glass slipper.<\/p>\n

I am not sure there is a player out there who has improved more from his frosh to sophomore seasons than QB Teddy Bridgewater. \u00a0He is refusing to make mistakes while completing 70% of his passes. \u00a0He is backed by a decent enough ground game, which kind of summarizes the Louisville team. \u00a0They are not great but they are decent enough to win – every weekend. \u00a0As long as they are not looking ahead that should continue.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals are not going to be worth of playing for the BCS title but I actually do think they will finish the season undefeated. \u00a0Temple competes hard so this week won\u2019t be easy but in the end they won\u2019t have enough offensive wiggle to win the game or keep it tight. \u00a0They will probably cover the spread in the process but I will be looking to other spots on the board for value this weekend.<\/p>\n
