Spread Pick for BC vs. Temple
- Boston College Eagles +3.5 (5 units)
The Boston College Eagles dropped their first game in OT against FAU and answered by winning by 29 points before a loss on Tuesday. The Temple Owls are also 2-0, but it's been easy. They are ranked 345th in strength of schedule after two games. The Owls are not a contending team in the AAC this season. They are expected to be in the bottom half of the conference.
Furthermore, Boston College is the superior defensive team here. They are keeping opponents to an average of 100 points per 100 possessions according to Ken Pomeroy's ratings, compared to 106 points per 100 by the Owls. Offensively, Temple only has the narrow edge. Also, Delaware State was able to shoot 43.9% from beyond the arc against the Owls, which is not a promising sign. Boston College has attempted an average of 30 threes per game.
Over/Under Pick for BC vs. Temple
- Under 146.5 (5 units)
I expect this one to go under. Boston College leans more on its defense to win games. Opponents are only shooting 37.8% against them after three games. Offensively, Boston College is shaky. They are shooting a weak 39.3% on the season.
In addition, the Owls’ defense has been a strength so far. They held Delaware State to 65 points and La Salle to just 63 points. Also, when it comes to pace, these squads keep it slower. Boston College is pegged 290th in adjusted tempo, while Temple is 215th.
