Ohio vs Temple: College Football Picks & Week 12 Odds
Tuesday night football will feature a battle in the MAC conference when the Ohio Bobcats (7-3) travel to take on the Temple Owls (8-2) at 8:00pm EST from Lincoln Financial Field for the game that can be seen on ESPN2 television or online at ESPN3.com. Online sportsbooks have listed Temple -7.5 betting favorites on the road in week 12 college football picks vs Ohio while the over/under total is set at 43.5. Sportsbooks also favor the Owls -320 in Tuesday night college football odds for week 12 on the money line vs the Bobcats +260. Something has got to give tonight as both teams are 5-1 in MAC conference action and both are tied for first place.
Temple has had as good of a season as one could ask for having lost only two games this season to Penn State 13-22 and Northern Illinois 17-31. Since the loss to the Huskies, the Owls have won four straight games including a 28-10 victory on the road last week vs Kent State. Temple won by 18-points to easily cover the 3-point spread in college football picks, go 7-3 ATS for the season and embarrass Vegas odds makers who are still having a hard time making correct spreads this late in the season. Now the Owls will take on Ohio at home where they have gone a stellar 5-0 in college football picks at Lincoln Financial field for sole possession of first place in the MAC conference.
Not many handicappers really knew what to make of the Bobcats early in the season as Ohio went 1-3 in college football picks heading into week 5. However, the Bobcats turned their season around having not lost since, winning six straight games including last week's 34-17 victory vs Buffalo. Ohio won by 17-points and just barely covered the 16-point spread as favorites in college football odds to go 6-3 ATS for the season. Although the Bobcats are 5-0 for their last 5 games, it is doubtful that QB Boo Jackson will get the start after suffering a concussion during an altercation at a bar. It is expected that back-up QB Phil Bates will get behind the center on Tuesday night football despite still recovering from a shoulder injury.
