However, the Temple Owls are just another weak team in the AAC and the Pirates’ win over the Owls will not give them any assurance that they can handle the strong offense of the Mustangs. Though SMU was beaten by Tulsa in their last outing, the Mustangs showed that they can hold on with just a small margin (24-28) in defeat. SMU is 4-2 ATS in their last 6 contests versus East Carolina. Final Score Prediction, the SMU Mustangs will win and cover ATS at 40-28.
