We have reached week eight of the college football season and there are a lot of big time college football games.
The biggest non-power five conference game takes place on Saturday between the Temple Owls and the SMU Mustangs in Dallas. The last two games played between the two teams have been won by Temple.
Temple Owls
The Temple Owls have been good this season and if it wasn’t for a shocking loss against the Buffalo Bulls they would be undefeated.
In their last game they played a very back and forth game against Memphis but they made the big plays late to win by two points.

The Owls haven’t been known for their offensive production but the defense has been really good giving up only 19 points per game.
In this game they are facing a very good defensive team so they need to try and keep this a low scoring affair to have success.
On the offensive side they are led by quarterback Anthony Russo who has thrown for 1,503 yards, 13 touchdowns, and six interceptions.
SMU Mustangs
On the other side of this matchup is the SMU Mustangs who might be the most shocking team in all of the country right now.

Coming into this game the Mustangs have won six games in a row and have only failed to cover one of the spreads. The Mustangs have been a good offensive team all season and the x-factor has been former Texas Longhorns quarterback Shane Buechele who has thrown for 1,665 yards, 12 touchdowns, and five interceptions.
He has led the offense to average 44.2 points per game and in this game it’s going to be all about running up the score.
The Owls have had trouble with shootouts this year, so if the Mustangs can make this game a high scoring affair the Owls will have issues keeping up.

That being said 7.5 is a lot of points to cover and I think the Owls will find a way to keep this game close. The Mustangs will win the game, but the Owls will find a way to cover the spread.
