Two struggling teams, early, early contest, this has the potential to be a sloppy game. With that said, the Temple Owls are the more talented team here and their defensive effort should be able to get them over in this spot. The Elon Phoenix have also looked a lot worse in their games against division one teams. I’ll lay the chalk with Temple.
