Result:
LOSS

It is always a dangerous situation to play on a double-digit favorite that has shown limited ability to score. The Nitany Lions can sure play defense, but they are just 5-4 because the offense is just not capable enough to get separation in games. They have averaged just 13 points per game in their last five, and are now favored in this contest by almost all of that average. This is also a breather game against a team that will be hungrier for a win against an in-state rival. Temple has some impressive wins as they have beaten a good Memphis team, and East Carolina as well as Vanderbilt -  another offensively challenged team. They also own a 6-1 ATS mark in their last seven vs. a winning team. Penn State's futile offense has been somewhat predictable as they are 4-12-1 ATS in their last 17 after passing for less than 170 yards in their previous game. This one will be closer than it looks, so make the play on Temple and the points.
