Pick

I’m going to back the under here. I just don’t trust either side to be able to score enough to get us up and into the mid-140s which is what we’d need for the over here. Both teams have flaws defensively, but both have also been wildly inconsistent in putting points up and both meetings between these two have narrowly found their way under the number but under it nonetheless. Give me the under here.
