Temple at Villanova

Nova has been perfect at home, beating foes by 20 ppg on average. But let's look at who they have played: Albany, Fordham, Niagara, Monmouth, Houston Baptist, St. Joes and Navy. Four of those opponents were so weak that there wasn't even a line placed on the game. In the other three games, the smalles line was -12 vs. St. Joes. They simply haven't played anyone so the 20 ppg and 7-0 record doesn't tell us a whole lot. On the road they have faced Towson State, Rhode Island, Penn, Lasalle, and Texas. Texas is the only really good team they have faced all season, and they lost that game by 9 points. Temple is scoring 70 ppg and has the offense to hang in this one.
