Stephen Nover's CFB Early Saturday Discount Casher
(NCAAF) Boston College vs. Temple,
Point Spread: 14.50 | -110.00 Temple (Home)
Result: Loss
Temple can hang here given the season-ending wrist injury to Boston College QB Phil Jurkovec.

Boston College beat UMass, 45-28, last week behind senior QB Dennis Grosel, who is a big step down from Jurkovec, a pro prospect.

Temple is better than UMass and will be playing its home opener here. Boston College is 2-8 ATS following a victory.

The Owls were hammered, 61-14, by improved Rutgers. But that score was misleading. Rutgers only outgained Tempe by 104 yards. Temple came back from that loss to down Akron, 45-24, as a 6 1/2-point road favorite.
