This game fits within the “Low Total Unders with Line Movement F5” system, powered by our own Evan Abrams.
The model identifies early unders in games with a closing total between 3.5 and 6.5, line movement of at least half a run toward the under, and F5 under prices between -149 and -120.
It filters out inflated markets while capturing matchups where sharp money expects limited scoring. Moderate wind conditions between four and nine MPH further support the play by quietly suppressing offense
Pick: F5 Under 4 (-105)
