Rice at Florida International

Rice is off a pair of high scoring wins but don't be fooled: both were in double overtime. Rice is #286 in the nation in points scored and shoots 41% as a team (#287). Rice is 11-4 UNDER the total on the road and 13-5 UNDER the total away against a team with a winning home record. Florida International is even worse on offense ranked #293 in scoring with 62.3 points per game. They come off a loss to La Tech scoring 42 points, including just 15 first half points. They shot 28% for the game and allowed only 26 first half points, but packed it in in the second half. The UNDER is 19-7 when the Golden Panthers are at home facing a team with a losing road record. Look for a slow-paced, defensive first half. Play the first Half UNDER.
