This non-conference matchup will see the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets taking on the Temple Owls. The Yellow Jackets play in the ACC and the Owls play in the American Athletic.
Both teams are coming off losses and will be trying to get back into the win column in week five.
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
The Yellow Jackets suffered one of the worst losses so far the season. They lost to The Citadel last time out in week three by a score of 27-24. This game also ended in overtime.
The start of the Geoff Collins era has not gone how most might have expected and the Jackets are probably lucky to have even one win. They have not looked good in any of their games and they could be in for a very long season unless they show some kind of improvement.

The biggest problem for Georgia Tech is their ability to score. Through three games, this team has scored a total of 52 points. This average out to 17.3 points per game. This ranks 123rd in the country. Changing the offense has not yet helped Tech yet. This probably has to do with the personal that they have but still, they are averaging 110.3 passing yards per game. This is 127th in the country.
It is not like their rushing attack is that great either. They rush for an average of 173.7 yards per game. This is just 61st in the country.
Their defense has also had a ton of issues through their first three games. They are allowing 29.7 points per game. What is worse is that they allow an average of 274.7 rushing yards per game. This is second to last in the country.
Their passing defense is their only strong point, allowing 140 yards per game. Given that Temple like to throw the ball, Tech might be able to slow them down.
Temple Owls
The Owls were riding high after their upset over Maryland, but last week went into Buffalo and got smacked 38-22.
This game will be a wake up call for the Owls before their conference schedule starts next week.

The Temple offense is averaging 470.3 total yards per game, but are averaging 32.7 points per game. The passing game is the best part of their offense, averaging 347.3 yards per game. This ranks as the 9th best passing attack in the country.
The defense had been playing well until they allowed 38 to Buffalo last week. They still allow an average of 22.3 points per game, which is at least 49th in the country.
They are best against the pass, but Tech barely throws the ball, so that should not be a huge issue. The only area where the Owls may struggle is stopping the run. However, with Tech not running the option anymore, is should give Temple the chance to show them down enough to at least limit their scoring.

Free Week 5 NCAA Football Pick
I like the Temple Owls to bounce back at home and take care of business before starting their conference schedule next week.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: UNDER 49
I do not think Georgia Tech will be able to score enough and their defense will shut down the Temple passing game just enough to keep this game under the total.
