The current betting odds have Temple listed as a 24.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Temple has looked good in their games this season with their 2-0 record overall. They haven't really played against any good teams yet, but they did play a road game already against a team from the FBS and they have been rolling in their 2 games so far. They beat UMass in week 1, winning on the road 42-10, and they just beat up on Howard 55-7 in their last game. Meanwhile, Oklahoma has looked really good in their games this season with their 2-0 record overall. They just picked up a ranked win over Michigan, beating them 21-13, but that game was also at home where they have played both games this year. This will be their first road game of the season though and even though it isn't against a really strong team, it is still going to be their first road test against a team from the FBS. Their defense has looked great in their 2 games, but their offense hasn't looked great. They only put up 21 points at home against Michigan and Michigan does have a good defense, but they also scored just 35 points at home against Illinois State the week before. This is going to be the first look at this offense on the road this year and they haven't been putting up a ton of points at home so far. The defense is really good, but Temple has put up over 40 points in both games so far and they have the talent on offense to put some points on the board at home. The best way to place a bet here is on Temple to cover the spread in this game.

“I’m embarrassed. This is a players' game, and a lot of other people were responsible for getting to that moment. And again, I don’t want to take away — celebrate, man. What we do is too hard. You only get 12 opportunities guaranteed at the beginning of the year.” - Brent Venables after his team’s win against Michigan in their last game. 

“If you are realistic, you are playing for the wrong guy. I have no interest in being realistic. This team wants to win the conference championship and bowl games, which we are a long way from doing, but that will not stop us from having that as a goal. If you are realistic, please leave now.” - K.C. Keeler on his team this season.
