Pick
I’m sticking with the under here. It may sound crazy given how well the Zags have performed at home this season, but the total between these two teams historically has been high in every meeting and it simply gets over-inflated to the point that a game in the mid-70s on both sides still isn’t enough to get over the number like we saw in the last meeting earlier this season. I’m not sure this one is as close as the first meeting, but I think that this game still comes in at the low-150s, so give me the under here.
