Temple Owls vs Wichita State Shockers prediction

The Wichita State Shockers are the more talented team and should be favored at home, but they’re still a below average team that I have no confidence in laying points with. The Temple Owls are even worse, but they did beat Wichita State last month and that’s worth noting. Wichita State is five games below a .500 record and is 9-15-2 ATS on the season. I’m not laying this many points. It’s Temple or pass for me.
