Eastern Kentucky at Eastern Illinois

This is a matchup of two relatively even teams, and accordingly they split the two regular season games. They scored 131 and 126 points respectively in those games, but I really feel this one will be played with a lot more focus and intensity on the defensive end, with what is at stake here. There has not been an adjustment in the total. Eastern Kentucky has ramped-up the defense after a 10+ point home loss and have followed with a 7-2 mark to the UNDER in their last nine in that situation. Eastern Illinois has been an UNDER team for a longtime now, playing 27-10-1 to the UNDER in their last 38, and with the energy ramped-up here, I like this one to stay UNDER the total.
