Those type of numbers would be acceptable had they opened with a daunting schedule, but outside of a matchup with #86 Santa Clara, they’ve yet to face another top-100 opponent.

Wyoming vs Cal St. Fullerton Pick

CSU Fullerton has yet to clear 77 points all season, and is averaging just 65.6 points over its past three games. The under has hit in each of their last four contests, failing to clear the total by an average of 15 points.

Wyoming on the other hand, has been been a profitable under team as well. The under is 3-1 in the four contests that have been assigned a total, and they’ve held four of their five opponents below 62 points.

Given the Cowboys lock down defense, and the poor shooting numbers of CSU Fullerton, this matchup profiles as an under candidate as well. Also working in favor of the under is the slow pace at which both offenses operate. Wyoming ranks 288th in average possession length, while the Titans rank 312th.

Pick: Under 141 (-110)
