Ohio +3.0 (-110) Football Odds - Tue Oct 21 ‘08 8:00p

The Ohio Bobcats and Temple Owls are two teams that are not accustomed to the national television spotlight, so at least these Tuesday ESPN games are giving the smaller schools some exposure.

That said, we would not trust wither of these 2-5 teams as favorites, making Ohio virtually an automatic selection as underdogs. This is not to say that the Bobcats do not have merit here for other reasons, as at least they enter this contest on a positive note after winning 26-19 on the road at Kent State last week.

The Bobcats also have a respectable offense, as they are averaging 23.9 points and 370.9 total yards per game, including 240.7 passing yards on a good 7.1 yards per pass attempt. Thus, they are capable of hitting a few big plays vs. a Temple defense that is not as good vs. the pass (6.7 yards per attempt) as it is vs. the run (3.7 yards per rush).

Comparatively, the Owls are only averaging 17.1 points and 266.6 total yards per game, and their offense has gone downhill since losing starting quarterback Adam DiMichele for the season. His backup, Chester Stewart, has been abysmal, completing just 50 percent of his passes while averaging a poor 4.94 yard per attempt, with seven interceptions vs. only four touchdown passes.

A healthier Ohio squad is simply the better team right now, so take the points even on the road here.
