NCAA Basketball Betting – Fernandez, Owls Look To Ground Saint Joseph’s Hawks

The Temple Owls seem like the newest no-brainer pick at home, especially considering that they’re the best NCAA basketball betting team in the Atlantic 10 Conference. Coming off a 73-53 shellacking of Richmond with a moderate line to cover, the Owls will look to bolster their tournament hoop dreams by hosting the downtrodden Saint Joseph’s Hawks.

Simply put, the Hawks stink. They have piled up a six game losing streak, and a nine game losing streak this season en route to a 7-18 SU record. To their credit, they are also 9-8 ATS this season, but they have never played well against the Temple Owls.

In fact, Temple has dominated this series in the past few years crushing Saint Joseph’s for an 8-2 SU record and a 7-3 ATS record in NCAA basketball betting as well. It’s hard to imagine Saint Joseph’s giving Temple any issues on Sunday, especially considering how the Owls manhandled the Richmond Spiders earlier this week.

NCAA Basketball Betting Trends:

· Saint Joseph’s is 2-4 ATS in last 6 games

· Saint Joseph’s is 2-5 SU in last 7 road games

· Temple is 4-2 ATS in last 6 games

· Temple is 5-0 SU in last 5 home games against Saint Joseph’s

Temple dominated Richmond by holding them to .393 percent shooting, and to rub salt in their eyes, Temple shot .556 percent from the field themselves.

They were led by team leader Juan Fernandez who scored 20-points and was virtually perfect from the floor (he missed one shot) has seemingly returned to form since having the earlier part of his NCAA basketball betting season limited due to injuries.

With Fernandez once again playing at an elite level, and Temple knowing it has to scratch and claw its way to earn respect in the rankings, especially with five losses already. This line will be a bit crazy, but don’t be nervous.

Temple has never had issues and the Hawks have never travelled all that well at the Liacouras Center. Enjoy a simple thrashing as the Owls roll once again in NCAA basketball betting picks.
