Delaware State Hornets vs Temple Owls Point Spread Picks

Delaware State finished last season on a 9-1 OVER run, and the Hornets are 9-3 OVER their past 12 road games. This year, they are relying on three junior college transfers, following the Hornets' first winning season in four years. Stan Waterman coaches an up-tempo offense at Delaware State, as they topped the 80-point mark 15 times last season. Temple averaged 78.8 points in 2024-25 and allowed 77.7. The Owls have gone OVER 21 of their past 26 games overall and 18 of 23 home games. Temple played its worst defense statistically since 1997 while being the best 3-point shooting team in the conference. Masiah Gilyard, a transfer from Manhattan, shot 58 percent on 2-pointers and 32 percent on 3-pointers last season. Take the OVER.

Delaware St. has rarely done anything very good on the basketball floor and is 2-10 on the season. The 2 wins came against Cairn, and Regency University. They also lost to Salisbury St. by 13 at home. Their last 3 games as a dog of 17 or more points saw them lose by a combined 98 points and an 0-3 ATS mark. Temple is 6-5 and perhaps the best team that Delaware St. has faced all season. Temple has played a highly competitive schedule and after some very competitive games, this one is going to have blowout written all over it. Delaware St. has lost to LIU by 34, Longwood by 20, Liberty by 36, NC Central by 33, and Wagner by 42. I think Temple would be favored against all of those teams. Make the play on Temple.
