The 2017 Gasparilla Bowl betting odds for Temple vs. FIU had the Owls as a -7 favorite.
The Gasparilla Bowl, officially the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl for sponsorship purposes, is an NCAA-sanctioned post-season college football bowl game that has been played annually at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, since 2008.
These two offensive power houses have led to oddsmakers posting a 57.5 total on this game. Not surprisingly 72% of the total betting action is on the OVER.
The OVER is 5-0 in the Owls last 5 games overall and 4-0 in Golden Panthers last 4 games overall.
These teams have not had any recent meetings.
Temple won three of its last four games to reach bowl eligibility, with the lone loss in that span a 45-19 setback to unbeaten UCF. The Owls scored a combined 112 points in posting wins over Navy, at Cincinnati and at Tulsa.
Florida International scored 104 points in its last two games in routing Western Kentucky 41-17 and Massachusetts 63-45 to tie a program record for wins in a season.
