Richmond vs Temple Betting Prediction
The Spiders have suffered some difficult losses, but after playing in overtime the previous night, they now get to play their second game in a back-to-back. Since the 14th, the Spiders have played in two overtime games.
Although the Owls aren't usually attractive, they can be physically aggressive and prey on weaker opponents. Dunn, who averages 24 points per game, is having a tremendous season and will easily win this game. The fact that the Owls will pick up the tempo in this situation will make a difference in whether the Owls succeed or fail. Contrary to the spread, back Temple.
Pick: Owls +1.5 (-114)
