T.M. Selection: Western Kentucky vs Sam Houston State - UNDER

I am on the UNDER in the Western Kentucky vs Sam Houston State game on Wednesday. Sam Houston State is 5-1 this season and their defense has impressed in the majority of games. In those 4 games (out of 6) this season, the Bearkats have allowed an average of 15 ppg. Western Kentucky is battling with the Kats among the top teams in early CUSA standings this season and it continues here with a better game defensively than most are expecting. This is a key battle at the top of the standings so defensive intensity will be up. Ever since getting blown out by Alabama, as expected, in their season opener, the Hilltoppers have allowed an average of just 16 points per game. Western Kentucky has not allowed more than 21 points in any of those 5 games. That trend continues here in a tight low-scoring battle. The Bearkats like to run on offense and that helps an under. Toppers are more of a passing team but the SHSU defense has been solid in terms of passing yardage allowed this season. Easy under here!

T.M. Prediction: 21-19 Sam Houston State.

Line: O/U 56.5
