Temple will square off against the Bearcats in an AAC quarterfinal game this afternoon. Temple is just 16-15 on the season, but has struggled over the last month or so and it has been factored into this line by oddsmakers. The Owls are just 2-6 in their last eight games. Cincinnati got its 20th win of the season their last time out as they crushed by 23 points. The Bearcats have been lethal on the season as a favorite where they are 18-4 SU (15-7 ATS). They have out-scored those 22 opponents by nearly 12 points per contest. Given the direction of these teams, I'm seeing significant moneyline value on the Bearcats in this one. Make the play on Cincinnati to win straight-up.
