UCLA at Temple

December 29, 2009
img4:30 PM Eastern

EagleBank Bowl - RFK Stadium - Washington, DC. This is Temple's first Bowl game in 30 years. They should be pumped, but will it be enough vs. UCLA? I don't think so. The crows should predominately side with the Bruins and they should be come ready to play as UCLA hasn't played in a Bowl since 2007. UCLA seemed to have limped in here and they sport a very pedestrian 6-6 record. But, that's a good thing. Bowl teams with a straight-up record of .560 or worse facing a team with a better record have hit at an amazing 82% ATS rate the past five years including 1-0 thus far this season (Wyoming). UCLA had a poor middle-of-the year losing five straight during October. But they bracketed that with a 3-0 start and a 3-1 finish to the year. They went 2-5 as an underdog but against teams they were supposed to beat, they showed up, going 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS as a favorite. I think they show up here and get the win and cover.
