This total is set low - but not low enough. These two teams when they meet simply play defense and go UNDER the posted total. Over the past three seasons 12 of the 16 games have gone UNDER the total including five of seven here in Cleveland. The average score in the past five games? 166.2 total points per game. Not much of a surprise given that Detroit is 44-26 UNDER the past two seasons vs. a winning team including a ridiculous 16-5 UNDER vs. teams with a record of .700 or better. This season Detroit is 7-0 UNDER revenging a home loss. This one should play out like the rest of the meetings between these two teams that know each other so well - a defensive battle and an UNDER.
