The Dayton Flyers are off to a 10-2 start to the season. The Flyers losses came at the hands of North Carolina and Iowa St., a pair of elite teams, and they also own wins vs. UConn and Marquette, both ranked in the top 11 or better. Dayton has been strong on the defensive end of the court, as just two of their 12 opponents have reached 70 points. The Cincinnati Bearcats have been stifling on defense, an integral part of their 8-1 start. Cincinnati is holding opponents to 38% shooting. The Bearcats have not allowed 70 points to an opponent all season. This will be a dog fight, as hoops will be contested, and the total says the winner hits 70+. I don't see this game making it there. Neutral court games with a team coming in on a 5-game or longer winning streak, and are .800 or better, and facing a winning team are 225-153 to the UNDER since 2020. Make the play UNDER the total.
