College Football Week 10 Odds, Picks & Prediction: Temple vs. South Florida

Temple (+3.5) vs. South Florida

The wrong team is favored.

The Bulls lost starting QB Gerry Bohanon to a season-ending injury and are going with QB2 Katravis Marsh for the rest of the campaign. Marsh has a career 52.3% completion percentage and 4/6 TD/INT ratio. South Florida skews run-heavy until the game starts to get away from them.

But that ground game must run into the teeth of Temple’s team strength. The Owls’ run defense is really good (No. 25 success rate). The Bulls are going to have issues moving the ball.

On the other side, we have one of the worst unit-on-unit matchups of any game this season, with Temple’s No. 128 SP+ offense going against USF’s No. 129 SP+ defense.

In Temple’s first five games, it got shut out twice and scored a mere three points in another. In the three AAC games since, against defenses that averaged a No. 71 SP+ defensive ranking, the Owls have looked better in averaging 16.3 PPG.

Against USF’s stinky defense, Temple could threaten 30 points (a mark they’ve only reached against the FCS opponent this year). I don’t think USF’s offense will be able to keep up with their dominant hand tied behind their back.

The pick: Temple +3.5
