NCAAB Sports Betting – Temple Owls Have Everything To Lose Against Richmond

February 17, 2011

The Temple Owls have been working very hard this season in the Atlantic 10 to secure some basketball betting backers to no avail. A terrific 6-0 SU record over their last 6 games has been met with as many pitfalls in betting as wins, especially since they’re 3-3 ATS during their winning streak. Temple needs to stay focused against a Richmond team that can sneak up on you.

The Spiders have a winning streak of their own they’d like to keep alive, and that’s their 8-0 SU record on the road. Believe it or not, it’s the second longest active road winning streak in the country. Unfortunately, the Spiders are just 3-4 ATS during that run. It’s seriously difficult to get a read on Richmond.

Generally speaking, the oddsmakers tend to have mid-level teams like Temple and Richmond right in the crosshairs hen it comes to NCAAB sports betting. Neither team is exceeding the expectations set forth on them, nor are they falling short. Both teams are about where they should be.

NCAAB Sports Betting Line: Temple -6.0

Following that logic would lead one to believe that Temple’s home court advantage is perhaps the biggest difference maker in this matchup, and the fact that they’re ranked will generate some action in and of itself. Richmond, however, is just as ready to make the leap as Temple is and the road has obviously not deterred them that much when it comes to winning outright.

It also doesn’t help matters for the Owls that they’re just 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games when playing Richmond in NCAAB sports betting. There’s almost too much riding on this game for Temple, which is chasing Xavier in the A-10 Conference, and that pressure is something a young Owls team isn’t ready for.

With nothing to lose, the Richmond Spiders are a sharp play for the upset win tonight. This team is undaunted on the road, and that kind of proven value is priceless in NCAAB sports betting. Most of that eight-game road winning streak is built on beating up lower level completion, but Richmond has a chance to put themselves on the map tonight. Don’t expect the Spiders to let the Owls take this game, and opportunity, away from them.
