The set-up: Temple comes in content in my opinion after its upset victory over Maryland and a 2-0 start to the year. Temple' QB Anthony Russo has 686 yards, seven TD's and two INT's. Overall the Owl are averaging 561 yards of offense and 38 PPG this year. The Bulls though are a tough defense and I think the unit keeps the team in this game late. Buffalo is looking to bounce back after a 35-17 loss to Liberty last time out. Bulls' QB Matt Myers has 481 yards, five TD's and an INT, while Kevin Marks has 247 yards rushing. Overall Buffalo averages 385.3 yards and 22.7 PPG.

The pick: Both of Temple's wins have come at home and I have a hard time laying so many points on its first true road game of the season (despite how good its looked to his point). Conversely, both of Buffalo's losses have come on the road. I'm banking on a competitive battle and will therefore be grabbing the ample points in this one.
