The Owls are 7-6 in the all-time series but have lost their last two meetings with the Black Knights, including a 31-28 overtime setback in 2017.

The model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Since its inception, it has generated a profit of well over $2,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It also is coming off a profitable 13-9 season on top-rated spread picks. Anyone who has followed it has seen STRONG returns!

The model knows Army has dominated the competition thus far this season, especially early. The Black Knights have outscored their opponents 103-28 overall and 63-14 in the first half. They have been exceptional in the red zone on both sides of the ball, ranking first in the nation both offensively (12 TDs, one field goal on 13 opportunities) and defensively (three scores allowed on eight chances). Senior quarterback Bryson Daily accounted for 207 of Army's 272 offensive yards in the first half last week and finished the game with 145 rushing yards and three touchdown runs while also throwing for a pair of scores.

The model also has taken into account that Temple allowed the game's first 14 points last Saturday before rallying to defeat Utah State, outscoring the Aggies 28-8 in the second half after ending the first half with a field goal. Junior quarterback Evan Simon, who transferred from Rutgers prior to the season, became the first Owl to record six TDs since Ryquell Armstead in 2018 against Houston as he threw for five and rushed for another. 

The model has simulated Army vs. Temple 10,000 times and the results are in. We can tell you the model is leaning Over on the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits over 50% of the time!
