This is a 10* WALLET EXPANDER on the UNDER TCU/Hawaii.

These teams have been involved in some higher-scoring games of late, but here on X-Mas Eve I'm expecting more of a defensive battle.

TCU is 9-2 and Hawaii is 8-3. The Horned Frogs are 1-0 in true road games, and the Warriors are 6-2 at home.

In what we anticipate to be a very competitive battle, we expect that to then translate into a very defensive battle.

The Horned Frogs have seen the total go OVER the number in four of their last five, but they're off the 88-75 loss to Nevada as three-point favorites, and that's important for us to take note of here as TCU has in fact seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 12 off a SU/ATS loss as a favorite vs. an opponent.

Hawaii is in a similar spot. Its last game also went OVER the number in a 73-68 loss to Georgia Tech, but note that the Warriors have seen the total go UNDER the number in three of their last four off a SU/ATS loss as a favorite.

The overall situation, combined with the numbers/trends point to this total staying well UNDER the number.

Good luck, NP
