This is why emotions should be checked at the door with sportsbetting. Contradicted yourself after 20 minutes of research.
I gave Temple waaaayyy too much respect. I didn't know that their offense relies on the running game, we will shut that down easily. I still believe that if UCLA'S O-line doesn't show up they will not cover. However if the O-line does show up they will kill Temple. That's my final take lol sorry for the contradiction.

It basically comes down to a team with a poor record in a good division, against a team with a good record in a poor division. Personally I don't feel strongly enough about either team here but if i had to pick i'd go with a poor record in a good division.
Good division is also a bit of a loose term, talking about the PAC-10 this year, but it's still superior to the MAC. This is part of the reason bowl games are tricky, but i think UCLA wins and covers.

well then, you need to call the o-line if they'll show up or no. It's like if the temple rb score 3td and their defense gets 3 turnovers they'll cover if not Ucla will cover.

Temple definitely more pumped for this one but if UCLA loses they better head east and hope they never find LA again.

True story!! LOL I might switch to being a USC fan if they lose this game. (yeah right haha) Don't know why UCLA even accepted this game, risk- reward doesn't seem right.

I have 1 unit on Temple to cover +4.5
Weak pac-10? And im sure the Mac division is so much better!

not in 1h but 1 6mins

UCLA should start packing up the plane at halftime. They should have stayed home in the warm weather if this is how they were going to play. Temple looks like Alabama running the ball.
