Trends

North Texas is 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up win and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall. Wisconsin is 0-5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS win and 1-9-1 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up win while the under is 8-1 in their last 9 neutral site games.

Pick

I’m backing the over here. This total in my opinion is just too low even for two teams that aren’t necessarily known for playing high-scoring games. You look at a 60-57 game which I could definitely see this being, and while that’s a low-scoring game, it still manages to clear this total. I’ll side with the over in this one.
