Temple is highly over-rated, as they have played absolutely nobody this year... one of the easiest schedules in CFB so far!  Teams are statistically pretty even, but Houston has played much better competition... I expect Houston to win by 2-3 TDs.

Play #1 for Week 8:

Houston (-7.5) -120

-8 is a lot of points just look at what happened last week in memphis with houston getting 8 they won su, i think this is a similar matchup both teams look pretty even although I do give Houston the edge..

But i'll take my chances with Temple on the points looks solid too me:

Temple +8

Temples off / def is ranked  97 - 22 ,and Houston is ranked 99 - 19, also Temple QB has thrown 9 td passes and 4 int's .Houston's QB has 6 td passes and 8 int's. Temple has rushed for 8 td's and Houston has rushed for 10 td's . This time last season Temple had 0 wins and 6 losses currently they are 4 and 1. While last season Houston had 5 wins and 1 loss currently they are 3 and 3.Improvement on Temple side.But on the other side Temple hasen't played any winning teams , ( Vandy 1 and  5 , Navy 2 and 4 ,UCONN  1 and 4 ,and Tulsa 1 and 5 ) Where Houston has played ( UTSA 2 and 3 , BYU 4 and 2 , UNLV 2 and 5 , UCF 3 and 2 , Memphis 3 and 2

Now I'm confused GLTA

This line is mind boggling...Temple winners of three straight, Houston has looked anemic out there at times. Line wreaks, seems like Temple is bait, but I'm not sure I can back Houston here, maybe a teaser...

Guys, it ain't rocket science... when the line has you and everyone else baffled, you need to ask a question:  are we the geniuses, or are the books trying to pull one over on us?

I've been around covers long enough to know that when the entire forum is posting "What am I missing?"... they are missing something!

I don't like the fact public is backing Temple, but the eye test tells me Houston is very weak.  Give me the dog + a touchdown.

My pick: Temple +7.5

Temple  17
Houston 20

Well I'm going to this game tonight. So I look for Houston to feed off their win last week and feed the monster. Houston stays hot!

Houston-31

Temple-17

So my bet is Houston & over.

I've watched Houston suck way too many times this year, they are not a good football team.  I'm surprised O'korn even had a QB job in high school.  He will throw AT LEAST 2 INTs tonight.  Defenses will keep the game low scoring.

Temple +8

Under 53

Small play on Temple ML

When in doubt....take the points and don't Parlay anything.  I like Temple here with the points and might even make a small play on the ML.....maybe the under also.  Temple is motivated and building a program....Houston is in the midst of a bad season and not gifted with the althletes or a QB that usually gave them chances to always compete in game in the past.  That is the easiest way I can spell out the side to be on tonight.

I doubt O'Korn will even throw a single incompletion, let alone an interception...

Houston will be lucky to have 10 points at halftime.

Temple+10 for another $50

Sorry I meant under. Also I was thinking that because I placed a 2 team tease: Houston -2 & over 45.

So the math would on my particular bet: Houston 31

                                                                 Tempe: 17

                                                                 Total= 48

To clarify the smart guy post...lol

 O'Korn could throw 2 picks tonight.....  IF the starting QB for Houston gets hurt and O'Korn plays

Also wanted to let the people who think 0'korn may throw a pick. Think that might kind of hard considering he will not be the starter. Just FYI.
