The No. 19 SMU Mustangs are favored by a fair amount of points against the No. 25 Temple Owls Saturday afternoon, but I'm counting on the home favorite to get it done.

Temple is 5-1 SU (4-2 ATS) on the season, but I don't like the spot here coming off an upset win at home over Memphis. The undefeated 6-0 SU (5-1 ATS) Mustangs will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing outing as they failed to cover the spread in a triple-overtime win over Tulsa. They've had a bye to rest for this game which could very well prove to be the difference.

Temple has a good defense, but can it slow down an SMU offense that ranks sixth in the nation averaging 44.2 ppg and has had time to prepare? I think not; take the favorite.

8* play on SMU Mustangs.
