I saw -13.5pts and also -14pts. With the -13.5 my initial thoughts were slam dunk take Rutgers. Then talking to a friend, he said "who is Rutgers to be giving 14pts to anyone?".

Interested to hear what you all think about the line. O/U is 51pts, but not interested here.

Right now I am leaning towards the over if anything (and would give the points if I had to).

Temple returns most of a good OL and upgraded the skill positions with some transfers (most importantly a GA QB). The defense wasn’t that good, especially in pass defense, and lost a lot.

I could see a game something like 38-20, 41-24

Tell your friend that Rutgers Football is much better than he thinks, and to get his head out of his ***.

Then go out and find smarter friends. Lol

Rutgers will dominate and the spread is a no brainer. The over/under is more difficult.

Just like last year.. how can we EXPECT anything from Rutgers? I love em.. but have no idea what to expect except for playing hard. With lots of time to prepare.. teams have been able to run very specif9ic offenses designed to thwart Schiano's aggressive stunts and blitzes. Of course you need the right personel for that.. accurate QB who works fast off good presnap reads.. WRs and TEs and RBs with good hands... and I don't have a clue about Temple. Thus I am staying far away from this game... not that I bet often.

Temple is almost unanimously picked to finish last in their conference. They are coming off a 1-6 campaign. They were decimated by the transfer portal, the talent they got in was not close to the talent that left. They have had difficulty recruiting since Fran Brown left. Their QB didn't last a quarter at Georgia before being pulled and transferring. I haven't even started on their defense. You could literally go on and on about how bad their team will be in 2021, but the bottom line is that if we expect Rutgers to be competitive against the likes of PSU, Michigan, Wisconsin, etc. they need to put this team away early and easily cover. If this is a repeat of the 2013 game, I don't know how we get to 6 wins this year.

Temple has two very athletic QB’s. 2nd string is an Iowa St. transfer who runs more like a WR than a QB. Rutgers will have to play fundamentally sound on D to prevent the QB’s from creating big plays (I wouldn’t be shocked if Temple has a package for the 2nd stringer). Unlike most early-season games, it could wind up being a wild game in terms of combined offensive production.

I have a question for this "friend":

Who is Temple to be getting ONLY 13 1/2 points from anybody?

They won 1 game last year (Bucknell) and lost by 35 to Tulane, 24 to SMU, 25 to UCF and 25 to East Carolina. They stink. That's a big part of the reason RU is favored by 13 1/2.

I was a little surprised at this line, thought it would be more in the +7.5 to +9.5 range. Its the first game of the year, last year Temple was hurt bad by COVID with limited roster , also 22 first time starters in 2020. In 2019 they went 8-5 and beat then #21 Maryland 20-17, beat #23 Memphis 30 - 28, beat Georgia Tech 24-2. Last year is not a season I would put a lot of stock in to gauge the relative strength of a team. They have had a lot of player movement over the last year. Difficult to gauge all that. I would not be surprised if this game is fairly close.

Total is pretty high sounds like 2 Ds giving up a lot of points but 1 O (us) putting up a lot more 41-27

Temple can't run the ball. The OL may be great at pass-blocking but can't run block if their life was at stake. That makes them one-dimensional. The lack of a solid run game puts too much pressure on a new QB trying to develop chemistry with his receivers.

thanks.. I needed to read that and @cubuffsdoug post. I really did not look into Temple at all other than to know they have caused us issues in the past. They get "UP" for this game, no doubt. But if the descriptions of Temple above.. by knowledgeable fans.. are correct... then I think our coaching staff is smart enough to "leave no doubt".

I'll catch grief for it, but I kind of agree with your friend. As much as I want them to win by 50, until I actually see them do it, I'd stay away from giving 14 points.

Not surprised that this comes from someone with "Shea" in their moniker.

I think if our OL performs the way it can and should against Temple, our O is going to be humming. Our WRs should have their way with the TU secondary, especially if Gleeson is able to mix things up. Stay on schedule and don’t make mistakes, I see a 30+ point game on O no problem.
