that seems like a generous line, never know which Temple team will show up but that seems like a lock
I also like the Utes to crush Michigan that weekend
Hate to beat a dead horse.....but it all comes down to the play of the PSU Offensive Line.
When I try to look at this game objectively (and it is REALLY difficult to prognosticate wrt College teams before they get out there and play a few games):
One could easily imagine another struggling year for the PSU Offensive Line
+
Typically, in the first week or two, college offenses are well behind college defenses
+
The Temple D returns a host of "pretty good" defenders with experience
+
If the PSU offense struggles to maintain drives, you would have to expect that the horrendous PSU punt game (which is unlikely to be much better in 2015 than it was in 2014) will be giving Temple's offense great field position all day.
So.....even of the PSU D does a real good job of shutting down the Temple offense, this COULD very easily be a frustrating 13-10, 17-13 type game.
Often times those games are decided by which team makes the "big mistake" or which team has that "one or two explosive individual plays".....I think that would favor PSU
But often times it also turns on which team manages to get at least "3" when they get into scoring territory.....and it is doubtful that that would favor PSU.
At a line of -7 (more or less)......I wouldn't put anything more than "fun money" on that game.
Oh....and I should add....for the benefit of "someone" (you know who you are)......
"That Ruhle kid is one HELLOFACOACH!!!!"
