Villanova vs Temple Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks
Villanova looked solid but unspectacular in the debut of new head coach Kyle Neptune. The Wildcats were favored heavily and won 81-68 over La Salle. Temple on the other hand is already off to a horrible start with a loss in their first game. In what was supposed to be a nice opening night victory, the Owls fell to Wagner who were over 16-point underdogs.
Wagner clearly served as a wake up call for Temple but it’s hard to see them able to turn around their fortunes so quickly. Villanova has much more experience and talent across the board. With Temple already falling at home, it would be surprising if they don’t suffer the same fate at the hands of Villanova. The Wildcats should be able to cover the small five point spread, especially if Temple has to send Villanova to the free throw line to try to prolong the game.
