Temple Favored to Continue Dominance Over Boston College in Upcoming Match

Temple has won all four previous meetings against Boston College. The Eagles' only advantage in this upcoming game is playing on their home court. However, they are likely to struggle against Temple's strong offensive approach. Boston College tends to start games slow and lacks the athleticism to match up against Temple. Offensively, Boston College has been underperforming, with only one player consistently showing up. Although they have been successful in rebounding, it may not be enough against Temple's overall skill level. Considering the current situation, it is advisable to choose Temple to cover in this match.
