**sportsfan2009** · 12-29-09, 01:14 AM

Dude its Temple who is 9-3 vs Ucla who was 6-6 in the pac ten the pac ten sucked this year i like my chances with temple who were 8-3 vs the spend this year please it close to home for temple and ucla had to go on a road trip i am taking the money line and running with it ... Vegas wants every1 to think ucla will won just watch the line move tomrrow before kick off

Agreed........

Temple is far better team. Strong running game with their top back healthy and a well coached o-line. Defenses are about equal. But temple takes it with the offense. Don't let the pac-10 vs mac fool you. Almost a bottom feeder pac-10 team vs a mac team that could of won the mac if they were healthy. I LOVE temple in this situation. Practically a home game for temple too.

I mean if you were a UCLA fan would you travel across the nation to see them play temple? And if you are a temple fan, this is the first bowl game that they have had in years of totally sucking. And only a couple hour drive to go see the game.

Temple could blow them out!!!

The only offense Temple has is their running game. I think the UCLA D will keep him in check and force Charlston or Stewart to throw the rock. Which favors UCLA.

And you think......

Prince and Craft are any better in the same situation?

True, but who has Temple beaten? Kent State? Miami(Ohio)? Akron??

**fishmonger** · 12-29-09, 02:35 AM

True but losses were to legit teams and loss to Ohio was on the road and temple was hobbled. I would have to say that both schedules are a draw. Both being not very impressive. With Tenn. being UCLA's top win and Navy being Temple's. But temple won their games and UCLA lost their games. And UCLA wins are not that impressive either.

Ok. If Temple played in the Pac-10 what do you think their record would be? You think they have a chance against Oregon, Stanford, Tennessee, Washington, Kansas State, Arizona, Arizona State, Cal, USC??

Both schedules a draw

Plus, UCLA is still pissed about what USC did to them and they will unleash their anger on Temple.

**fishmonger** · 12-29-09, 02:53 AM

I think

Temple would of done just as good as UCLA.

I guess we just have to agree to disagree.

I agree... UCLA is going to beat Temple pretty easily. UCLA has the better athletes and the better coach. This will be a very similar game to Rutgers vs UCF. Temple will put up a spirited fight for about 1 quarter then they will get beat down. UCLA in a laugher. Does the MAC play defense?

C'mon man...

**fishmonger** · 12-29-09, 03:01 AM

Does the.....

Pac10 play defense???

**Mac4Lyfe** · 12-29-09, 03:03 AM

We shall see tomorrow... I'd suggest taking Temple team UNDER if your unsure.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 12-29-09, 03:06 AM

Temple team total is 21.5... I'll bet you 100 SBR points it will go Under

**fishmonger** · 12-29-09, 03:08 AM

How about??

Temple to cover 5 for 100 points?

**2daBank** · 12-29-09, 03:11 AM

better pac 10 teams havnt looked good as of yet...tru they played better teams so far but at this point not sure i can ride with the pac-10....gl either way

The line is 4.5... I'll take UCLA -4.5 for 50 pts AND Temple Under 21.5 for another 50. What say you???

**Mac4Lyfe** · 12-29-09, 03:21 AM

I'm off to bed but send me a challenge if you want to make the bet and I'll accept in the morning. Night all.

**fishmonger** · 12-29-09, 03:24 AM

Only..

Temple +4.5 for 50 points is my final offer. I can see temple winning 21-17. Or losing 24-21. So "no" on the team total.

**JMUplayer** · 12-29-09, 08:17 AM

The pac-10 has looked oh so good so far in the bowl season hasn't it?

**allaboutthecash** · 12-29-09, 10:11 AM

The Pac 10 is 1-2 so far in Bowl games. Yes, Oregon St and Cal both looked bad, but played pretty good teams in Utah and BYU. USC with 4 players suspended played pretty good vs a solid BC team. The fact that UCLA held Stanford, Oregon and USC all under 25 points makes you feel that their defense is solid. Temple which has a great year by their standards truly has only played 2 legit teams, getting beat easily by PSU and Temple did beat a very avg Navy team without the best QB at Navy in last 10 years. Temple also lost to Div 2 Villanova in 1st game. I think Temple is truly out classed here in athletes. UCLA has proven they can slow down USC, Oregon and Stanford, but Temple could not slow down PSU at all. I think this is a low scoring game that UCLA wins like 24-10

What about you?

Not sure, normally you are 100% on the button here, but UCLA travelling all the way to play shit team (in their mind) after playing Tenn, USC, etc. Played MUCH superior schedule to Temple. MUCH.

PAC 10 lost 2 early games, BUT Ore St was competely baffled by wind and cold, had no clue, and BYU knew what they were doing, adjusted.

BYU and Utah also came from up and coming MW Conference, are competitive, and LOVE beating PAC-10 teams that they compete with geographically.

Will be COLD, UCLA kids not used to adjustments.

UCLA = weak offense, and only Pac 10 teams UCLA beat were Wash, Wast St, and AZ St. Temple will be motivated as hell, big crowd. First bowl in 30 yrs. But MAC conference is weak.

Will coach let UCLA sleep thru this and get embarrassed? Doubt it but hard to figure.

If it wasnt so goddam cold I would go with UCLA. They might fumble 5 times, WR's drop a lot of passes.

Nova is not division II they are division 1-AA or FCS. And they won it all in 1-AA this year.

Mac was right on the button. Temple put up a spirited fight and than UCLA's D shut them down in the 2nd half.
