Gerald J. Ford Stadium in University Park, Texas.
3:30 EST, Saturday, October 19, 2019

Dallas weather will have a sunny high of 83 degrees, humidity at 53% (could be worse) wind at 9 mph and 0% chance of rain.
SMU opened at -7, moved to -7.5. O/U opened at 59, moved to 59.5.
All time, these teams are Temple 2 wins, 2 ties and one SMU win. Temple has won the last two meetings in 2015 and 2016. SMU won in 2013. Both ties were in the 1940's.
SMU is 6th in the NCAA in scoring at 44.2 ppg;Temple is 62 at 29.8 ppg. SMU gives up 28.3 ppg for 78th in the NCAA; Temple defense is 22nd at 19 ppg.
This game will feature the strength of SMU's offense against Temple's defense.
SMU is coming off of a much needed bye week after a thrilling 4th quarter/OT win over Tulsa. Temple is coming off of a thrilling 30-28 win at home over then ranked #23 Memphis.
Huge game in the American as both teams look to stay atop their divisions and fight for a championship game berth.

Yes, it should. The OWLS have had some injuries in their defensive backfield and that doesn't bode well against the Mustangs passing game. SMU has also had a week to rest & heal. Temple must win the turnover war to win the game.

Problem is SMU also has a terrific running game.

I wasn't following. Who is injured?
You're right about the turnover war, and SMU has to avoid mental mistakes like the kickoff and blown pass coverages it suffered against Tulsa.

Temple is good. But not good enough to win at SMU with them coming off a bye week.

Lot of teams come out flat after a bye week. I think SMU wins a close one though.

True but this is a home game for the Mustangs. I think that cancels coming out flat. I've been wrong before but my money is on the Stangs to win convincingly.

This looks like an awesome AAC matchup. I'll be heading to Tiger Lane by 3:30 CT for tailgating the Memphis/Tulane game, but I have my DVR set. I doubt I'll escape Tiger Lane after the game without knowing what the Temple/SMU outcome is.

The beloved Temple Owls 30
The hated SMU Muskrats 23
Seriously, this will be a good game. Take Temple and the points.

I actually like Temple in this one. Nothing against SMU, just a gut feeling.

Temple hammers SMU
RE: ***Official Temple v #19 SMU Game Thread*** - vick mike - 10-19-2019 11:27 AM
Line has moved to SMU -9. There will be many sad gamblers betting on the Ponies today.

That's a really impressive drive against a really good defense to start the game.
