UTEP vs. Southern Mississippi

The Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles are 24-8 and have had a remarkable season, although a lot of it is tainted with some easy scheduling early on. The Eagles had 11 gimme wins early on, two of which came vs. non-Div-1 competition, and are far from secure in achieving an NCAA bid. They have been facing lines that are based on record, not team talent and have not stood up to expectations at just 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 contests. UTEP has gotten to 18 wins, but their out-of-conference schedule was very strong, and they lost on the road in their only meeting to Southern Miss by just six. The game ended with just 84 total points scored, and was a physical war. These teams matchup well on the defensive end, and another low-scoring game is quite likely. And four of the last five have been unable to clear the total. The Miners are at their best vs. the best and enter this contest a confident 11-1-1 ATS in their last 13 vs. a team with a winning percentage over .600. The Eagles' offense has been stalled by winning teams, as they are 4-0 to the UNDER in their last four against them. I anticipate another tightly contested contest, and UTEP is playing better right now. Take UTEP and play on the UNDER.
