Expect a hard-fought battle between two defensively stout teams, as both Florida Atlantic and South Florida pride themselves on their ability to limit opponents' scoring opportunities. With the total set at 147.5 points, the under is the favorable pick in this matchup.

Both teams excel in slowing down the pace of the game and forcing opponents into difficult shots. With strong defensive schemes and disciplined play, scoring opportunities will be hard to come by, resulting in a lower-scoring affair compared to the projected total.

Look for both teams to prioritize defense and control the tempo of the game, leading to a closely contested matchup with fewer points than expected.

Pick: Under 147.5 (-110)
