Stephen Nover's Bowl Total of the Year
(NCAAF) Middle Tennessee vs. Arkansas State, 12/16/2017 3:00 PM, Score: 35 - 30
Total: 61.50 | -107.00 Under
Result: Win
The oddsmaker thought he set a high enough total on this game. He didn't. Middle Tennessee State's overall offensive statistics are skewed because its star quarterback, Brent Stockstill, missed around half the season.

Stockstill returned four games ago and Middle Tennessee State averaged 36 points in those games.

Arkansas State has one of the most potent offenses in the country ranking 11th in total yards at nearly 500 a game, sixth in passing yards and 15th in points averaging 38.5 per game.

Neither team is strong defensively against the pass. So it's easy to forsee a shootout between Stockstill and Justice Hansen. The Red Wolves rank 91st in pass defense.

Another plus for the Over is that each team plays at a fast tempo.
