Temple is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record. Tulsa is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 conference games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games in November.
I’m not looking to back either one of these teams right now, so that has me leaning towards the under here. Temple’s struggling to put points on the board regardless of who is on the other side and Tulsa isn’t a high-scoring team to begin with so how we get into the 50s is beyong me. Give me the under here.
