Total: 131.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Loss
Total: 131.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Loss
Yes, this is a low total. But it's not low enough given how bad these teams are offensively.
East Carolina ranks 332nd in scoring averaging 65.6 points. South Florida is even worse averaging 63.8 points.
What makes this worthy of an Under play is not just these team's lack of scoring, but tempo. Each team plays a slow-paced game and commits a lot of turnovers. Both are much stronger on defense than they are on offense.
South Florida is even more defensive-minded at home where the Under has cashed nine of the last 11 times.
