Toledo beats Temple by 4 TDs

Temples defense is good against pedo state , UCONN, but they are no match for a senior stacked roster of Toledo

I don't usually bet on a bowl team with an interim coach, but I feel Toledo is a worth a wager here with their explosive offense. Temple has a superior defense but I don't see them keeping Toledo from scoring a bunch and Toledo has excellent special teams. I'm taking the Rockets and the OVER.

GL all   -----    THE Myth

Matt Rhule 3 years coaching experience all at Temple making his first bowl appearence. Had a great season for the Owls but that season ending loss in the playoff game vs Houston may have taken the wind out of the Owls sails. The Boca Raton Bowl has to be a letdown for what could have been for the Owls. I don't think thet show up for this one.

Toledo also coming off a su loss to Western Mich in their final regular season game fields a team that won a bowl game last year. Interim coach Candle was there as an off coordinator so he has some bowl game experience.

I'll lose my money on the Rockets to pull off the mild upset vs a deflated squad.      

Toledo - 30                                        Temple - 21

Rockets +2                              over 49.5 

Probably better off going to the beach and checking out the scenery than watching this one.

Rockets - Over 

Both teams have averaged around 31(Temple) to 37(Toledo) points the last 10 games I think the best play here is the over and Toledo

Toledo +2 and Over 49.5

Toledo all the way boys! This over/under has me a little concerned as it will be interesting to see how much Toledo scores!!! I think Temple may be good for 2 TD's and a FG call it 17 maybe 20 PTS. Big question being do the rockets let it stay close?

Toledo/Over or Under(TBD)

Cheers and GL everyone.

With everyone loving Toledo so much, reminds me of S. Florida.  Where did that get us.  It took 2500 of my balance, that's where it got me. 

Think will pass on the Maggot bowl.  I do not like either Tolple or Temedo.

south florida...ruff day

i cant bet on a team that lost to USF after seeing that pitiful effort on not only the pass defense but especially the coaching, i wonder if taggert is a affirmative action hire, because it seemed like he didnt know what was going on or what he was doing. Did he just get hired because his mother died of cancer? or he was shot in the arm in a drive-by....wtf? Give the job to a black coach who knows the rules of football, i.e. Syvester Croom ,Ron English, or Turner Gill. absolutely retarded

Don't have to think and research much on the side, I only see value on the Total. Under is my play on this game.

SFLA did look good, but at the end some bad offensive calls and the defense got lazy, it's not like WKU is known for their defense, will agree coaching should have been sharper in the fourth with good momentum on SFLA side oh well, still 10-1 on bowl picks so far, sticking with Owls and over

I suppose it could go under.  But I look and see Toledo has been averaging prob over half that total and their defense has been giving up a good 25 also.  Then I see Temple has been putting up some good points also and giving up a good amount lately. 

I don't know to me it seems like totals are many times a flip of the coin.  Only time I like totals is when I think one team is going to blow the other away by 20 plus and the loser will get a few points.  I do not know if this will be a blowout.  I think you guys are underestimating Temple, but not I.  I am not underestimating either of these semi crappy teams because I pass!

FYI, check out going against Lakers and 76ers tonight.  Been riding the Laker and Philly losing again train for a couple months and it mostly leads to my bank.  Thank you NBA for such awful teams.

Toledo sounds good. 4 factors to 1 by my reading

New comer here...

i believe this is an game temple dominates for two reasons. Temple has played houston, memphis, and ND to under 30 points this season. Threy have played much better offenses and talents than toledo. They also have an national award winning LB who leads a stout defense who will b calling the shots. Secondly toledo coach left while temple coach just resigned with the program. Toledo players could come out flat and with the OC calling plays who knows how good he actually is all alone to handle HC and OC responsibilies. Temple is going for its first 11 win season and last year was snubbed from bowl season. This sets up a good bet on temple and with a solid toledo defense ill bet the under as well on a small lean.

TEMPLE 31 

TOLEDO 13

Thanks Nola, welcome aboard. Informative writeup, good insight. Temple gave up 233 rushing yards to Houston and 168 to ND and 366 on the ground to So. Fla. ........... Toledo is a run first, pass second team. You may be 100% right with your pick but I tend to believe there will be enough scoring to make the over. Keep posting, it can only help us all!  -   THE Myth

What wins games?  Defense. What shoots down morale?  Coaches leaving duties on the hook for OC's who have never been in a HC role.  Yes, Toledo has seniors out the gazoo but calls are still being made by a HC in a new position.  Temple came out flat against Houston.  It won't happen again.  THE PASSION OF THE RHULE WILL COMPEL YOU!
