Total Punts – Over 6.5 (+115) / Under 6.5 (-143)
The regular season combined averages for the number of punts for Tommy Townsend and Bradley Pinion comes in at just over 6.6, making this # appear to be right on the nose.
The median, however, which throws out the lowest and highest scoring games, comes in at 3.5, well below the posted total. Given that both head coaches have shown a propensity for risk tolerance to get to where they are, I like this number to sail well under the 6.5 posted.
Pick: Under 6.5 (-143)
