T.M. Selection: Houston.

I like Houston to cover the spread against Temple in this game on Sunday. Houston has looked good in their games lately. They have won 3 games in a row and they were all by 10+ points. This game will mark the start of their conference play and I expect Houston to come out with a bang and win big. They have the best record in their conference at the moment and they are the 12th ranked team in the country. They have only played 1 road game though and they lost that game by 1 point to a good Alabama team. Temple is no Alabama so I expect Houston to have a much easier time winning this game on the road and start forging their path to the conference title. Temple has not looked the greatest this year with a 7-5 record but they are already down 1 game in the conference losing to UCF by almost 20 points. Temple has only lost 5 games this year but their last 4 losses were all by around 20 points. Houston is a very good team and I think they are going to play well here to start their conference play off on the right foot. Temple has played well in some of their games but when they lose they usually lose by a lot and Houston is a team that could definitely end up blowing them out by 20 points. I like Houston to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 86-66 Houston.
