Miami at Temple picks and predictions
Prediction
Miami 30, Temple 14
Moneyline
Expect this game to be a lot closer than many think. Temple’s Joquez Smith is a dynamic running back, who rushed for 142 yards and 1 TD and had a 15-yard TD reception last Saturday. However, there’s just too much Miami firepower and Canes roll, but stay away from this absurd line.
Against the spread
This will be the 1st road game for The U in 2023 so they might come out sluggish. Miami has won 14 straight vs. Temple and their offense ranks 3rd in the ACC. The Owls have to get their ground game going early and need QB E.J. Warner to manage the game effectively. Although Miami is 2-1 ATS in 2023, this one might be tougher than they anticipate.
TAKE TEMPLE +23.5 (-110).
Over/Under
Miami has hit the Under in 5 of the last 6 games while Temple has hit Over in 4 of their last 5. This game has a lot of question marks on both sides. The Hurricanes have the obviously talent advantage, but the Philly faithful will be loud and Miami might have a tough time getting going.
STEER CLEAR.
