Total: 37.50 | -107.00 Over
Result: Win
This is a 5* play on GB@NE to go UNDER the total.

It came as no surprise that we saw another low scoring tilt between the Steelers and the Vikings in this year's Hall of Fame Game. The first game of the pre-season has failed to go over 37 points in eight of the last 11 annual events. Low scoring games are the norm in the pre-season, and I find it a little odd that bookmakers seem overly optimistic about how many points are going to be scored here in Week 1. We saw five of the six games go under on the opening Thursday of the 2014 pre-season, and only five of 18 games saw more than 37 points scored in the entire first week.


The Packers lost at Tennessee by a score of 20-16 in their first exhibition game last year, and Aaron Rodgers didn't even step on the field. In fact the backup quarterbacks were 14-of-25 for 148 yards with no TDs and no picks. The focus seemed to be on the running game, with eight players combining for 148 yards on 35 carries. Tom Brady didn't see any action in a Week 1 loss to the Redskins last year, and Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 137 yards and a TD, but that was the Patriots only score. The word out of Patriots camp is that Garoppolo has really struggled, so Belickick will likely want to give him plenty of reps.

Take UNDER.
