Temple Owls vs VCU Rams prediction

The VCU Rams aren’t as good as they’ve been in past years, but they’re still solid defensively, and being at home here doesn’t hurt. The Temple Owls are rough in terms of offensive efficiency, and that’s not going to improve on the road against this VCU defensive pressure. I’m not excited to lay chalk with VCU, but backing temple on the road isn’t an option. It’s VCU or pass for me.
