Wake Forest vs. Temple

December 27, 2016
img3:30 PM Eastern

MILITARY BOWL - The Temple Owls opened their season with a very hard-to-swallow loss against Army. They proceeded to run the table ATS from that point on, finishing 12-1 ATS. That alone will get them a lot of action from bettors in this contest. While that sounds like they should be the obvious choice, as a general rule, the layoffs until bowl games chases all the momentum away. Teams coming into a Bowl game having covered at least three straight games are just 104-151-3 ATS in their Bowl game. Wake Forest lost each of their last three games by an average of 19 points per game. That certainly will act as a detour for potential bettors siding with the Demon Deacons. However a team that has lost three straight to end their season, come back in their Bowl game to go 21-12 ATS, including 5-1 ATS when taking seven points or more. Sometimes the obvious in Bowl season is just the opposite. Take the points on Wake Forest.
