Gents this is the line I"m on first and most.
7:00 EST Bowling Green @ Temple
POINT TOTAL OVER 117
numbers rounded up when over .5 / down when -.5
Temple Owls offense 64 ppg
defense 55
BG Falcons offense 64 ppg
defense 66 ppg (although skewed to Xavier loss)
BG to score about 80% of its average pt total = 64 x .8 = 51
Temple to score 10% above its average pt total = 64 x 1.1 = 70
Even if BG scores 20% less than avg and Temple scores only 10% above avg
you reach total of 121. Heck even if Temple scores average, it's 115.
Keep in mind we have BG which has had abysmal shooting % and are taking 20%
away from that (for Temple defense), and saying Temple will only shoot 5% better than average in order to hit
118 total. Temple has played a class of teams far superior to BG's opponents.
They are at home and should score at least average.
