East Tennessee State is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a losing record under is 5-1 in their last 6 road games. Morehead State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Sunday games and 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 home games against a team with a losing road record while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall.
I’m not rushing to the window to bet this game, but I’m leaning towards the under. The only success both teams have had offensively as of late are in unlined games against subdivision opponents. Against D-I opposition? Both are having issues putting points up and at times, keeping points off of the board. I don’t think scoring will be easy here though so give me the under.
