Video Summary

This Thursday night, college football fans will be treated to a matchup between Army and Temple. While the game may not be the most aesthetically pleasing, there's a money-making opportunity to be had. The total, not the side, is where the value lies, and our expert is recommending an under 45.5 bet.

Army, off to a 3-0 start, is a run-based triple option offense that will likely keep the clock moving and shorten the game. Temple, on the other hand, has struggled against the triple option, but they've had a bye week to prepare for this matchup. The Owls have actually been decent on defense, holding opponents to 5.8 yards per play, which is above average.

While Army's offense is good, Temple's defense may be better than the overall numbers indicate. The Owls have faced some tough opponents, including Oklahoma and Coastal Carolina, and have held their own. With Army's run-based offense, Temple may be able to contain them and keep the game close.

In the end, our expert believes the total has better value than the side, and recommends an under 45.5 bet. With the total likely to be inflated due to Army's strong start, this could be a savvy bet for those looking to make a profit.
