The Temple Owls will be home to face the Tulsa Golden Hurricane on Friday night. This AAC clash features a pair of 2-4 teams who are looking to snap their respective losing streaks. Temple has dropped two straight, most recently getting embarrassed 70-13 at UCF. The Owls will be glad to return home where they're 2-1, and they'll look to put their recent blowout defeat in the rearview mirror. For Tulsa, they lost 53-21 against Navy last week despite being four-and-a-half point favorites. They did steamroll Temple last time they met up, 44-10, so they should have some confidence entering Friday night.

Tulsa Golden Hurricane vs. Temple Owls Key Stats
Temple has one of the worst offenses around, and their run game, in particular has been non-existent. As a team, the Owls rush for 2.6 yards per carry, one of the lowest marks in the country. Owls QB E.J. Warner was able to stat pad in his team's 57-point loss, but in Temple's two wins, he has performed decently well. It's not like Tulsa has a great defense; in fact they're subpar, but against Temple, they have a good chance to bounce back.
Golden Hurricane QB Davis Brin has been solid overall, as he's tossed 14 TDs to just five picks. He did throw two picks last game, but he shouldn't have to worry tonight, as Temple has only two interceptions through six games. Brin's main target, Keylon Stokes, has had an amazing year, currently ranking third in the nation in receiving yards with 765. If Brin and Stokes can link up frequently tonight, they should be able to put a lot of pressure on a struggling Owls defense.

Tulsa Golden Hurricane vs. Temple Owls Betting Prediction
Both teams were blown out last week, and they'll each eye their first conference win tonight. While Tulsa is much stronger on paper, they have lost three times this year while being the favored team. As bad as Temple has been, they have covered the spread in all three of their home games this year. Look for this Friday night showdown to be competitive and take the Owls to cover by two touchdowns.
Prediction: Temple +14 (-115)
