Fade Both Offenses, Bet The Under
There is no hiding that these are two of the worst offenses in the country this season, as both of them are averaging less than 20 ppg on the year. Sam Houston puts up the least amount of points in the conference at just 16.3 ppg, while the Aggies aren't much further ahead with 18.5 ppg.
That said, it’s hard to see why college football sportsbooks have set such a high total for two offenses putting up just 34.8 ppg combined.
Looking at what each of them have done thus far on the year, Sam Houston is 3-1 in going over their point totals, however, it has been their opponents doing most of the heavy lifting. They’ve allowed each of their opponents this season to score 37+ points while having never crossed the 24-point mark. Not to mention, they are also 0-4 on the season.
As for New Mexico State, they are 2-2 in going over but are in a similar situation. The two games that they’ve stayed under came against FCS Bryant and a Tulsa team that is averaging just 21 ppg. Their two games that went over, they saw their opponents put up 38 and 49 points in each game.
Now that neither offense has the ability to score in bunches, this is a great time to take the under in what should be a dumpster fire of a game.
