    Temple @ Rice

    Temple has played 7/9 on the road, including Tex, Vill, Pur, and a win at Wich St while Rice has seemingly played the sisters of the poor 6/8 at home.

    Our resident experts seem split. Ayo, Buck, Hat on Temp -5 or so. LT and 55's on Rice.

    Thoughts please?
    What am I missing here?

    Yeah easy decision now if you haven't played yet, not so easy if you have.

    I would not play at +3/+3.5, quite happy with my +5. Could be decent at +4.

    Hey LT, got a little in yesterday on OR but boy did I miss the boat on the ML.

    Any insight on your selection or my logic above?

    Thx!

    Are Rice bettors looking for the win SU or ATS? Rice at +3 is too low now.

    Actually Temple has only played four true road games. They beat the worst team they played on the road (Toledo) and lost to the best (Texas),so let's toss those for now. In the other road games, they struggled against Penn and lost to a Bowling Green team ranked 174th by Pomeroy. But I think the most telling stat is Temple ranks 268th in two-point defense (51.5%) and Rice ranks 83rd in two-point offense (50.7%). All that said, I liked +5, not +3.

    Temple will go small and out-talent Rice in an up-tempo game ... Temple -3? .. easy ... Over 140.5? (got it earlier) .. very easy

    Looks like they got out-athletized vs a young Texas team and definitely need an inside presence. I think I understand who Temple is just not sure about Rice who on paper looks mediocre. Hate when I haven't visually seen a team.
