Tulsa vs Temple Prediction 

Tulsa comes into this matchup looking for their first conference win of the season, but they have allowed 41 points or more in three of their first four games in the American. The Golden Hurricane do have a win over Oklahoma State earlier this season, but they have been pretty bad other than that. Temple is 2-1 in conference play and they were one play away from beating a very good Navy team a few weeks ago. The Owls are getting great quarterback play from Simon and their offense should have a massive day here. Take Temple to cover.
