Temple Owls vs Rutgers Scarlet Knights. The NCAAF pick for this game is the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. It’s the first time Rutgers and Temple will meet since 2013. Since Week 1 of the 2019 season, when they were -17 against UMass, the Scarlet Knights were not, at the minimum, 13.5-point underdogs. Rutgers is 3-0 ATS in its last three games as a favorite of at least that size. All indications are that Temple will have another difficult season. With a new quarterback at the helm, Rod Carey would have to figure out how to keep this squad competitive. Rutgers is predicted to win the season opener by a large margin. The Rutgers Scarlet Knights will win to a predicted score of 29-24.
