2010 RECORD TO DATE: (for you, Chado)
NCAAF (ie Bowl Season): 5-1
NCAAB: 5-2
NFL: 0-1
I can't remember the last time I played two OVERs in a row, but I can't resist. Using the same logic as yesterday, this total is simply too low, and I don't think it is an honest reflection of the conference games these teams have been playing of late.
Drexel/Northeastern OVER 117
These two teams first met on Dec 5th, and Drexel handed NEastern their only conference loss, 49-47. In that putrid game, Northeastern managed 14 turnovers, Drexel 15 turnovers, and despite a combined 40 personal fouls, the two teams managed to make only 20 combined free throws. They were also a combined 2/11 from 3 point range. In other words, it was just a world of ugly, and as well as Northeastern has been playing, I don't expect that history will repeat itself from 7 weeks ago.
How well has Northeastern been playing? They have won 7 consecutive home games, and in that stretch, they are averaging 70 ppg at home. 70! Teams that average 70 points a game don't have totals sitting at 117 very often. Northeastern is a 10 point favorite here, which means they are expected to dictate the pace of this game.
Then, there's Drexel. Since defeating Northeastern, their totals against conference opponents have been as follows: 159, 120, 147, 121, 101, 119, 135, and 137. This means that exactly ONE out of EIGHT games since their no-offense affair against Northeastern has gone UNDER tonight's posted total.
Both of these teams have posted some low numbers, including against each other, but since conference play heated up, both have been playing games that involve more scoring than this total signifies. I expect Northeastern to once again approach their home average of 70 points, and if they even come close, this paltry total will be easily eclipsed.
Drexel/NEastern OVER 117 for tall stakes.
Good luck.
