Prediction
Buffalo edged out a narrow win over NIU, and up to this point, their defense has carried them. As a result, three of their four games have gone under, with one push. UConn’s offense is above average, but their offensive stats are a bit inflated against two weaker opponents. The combination of the Bulls’s struggling offense and elite defense is a good recipe for taking the under, and here we’re going aggressive with an alternate total.
Final Pick
Alternate Total Points Under 42 (+125)
