Cincinnati Bearcats vs Temple Owls Betting Prediction
The game is a bit more inclined toward the Bearcats due to their offensive strength and better defensive organization. With only area of concern is their road form which is not good.
Meanwhile, the Owls, though, did well in the last game but come with an inconsistent run and have not been effective while scoring. With defensive loopholes in sight, they are likely to find it difficult against Cincinnati.
We can expect Bearcats to have a go at this one and win through better team display.
Prediction: Take, Bearcats, -3.5(-115)
