TERMINATOR TRILOGY 1
(NFL) Miami vs. Chicago, 08/13/2015 4:00 PM, Score: 10 - 27
Total: 37.00 | -105.00 Over
Result: Push
This is a 5* play on MIA@CHI 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 Dolphins went 3-1 in the 2014 pre-season, but their lone loss came in Week 1 by a score of 16-10 at Atlanta. Ryan Tannehill saw one series, going 6-for-6 for 62 yards and a TD. The rest of the Miami starters saw limited action as well, including Lamar Miller who had just four carries. Chicago was involved in a barn burner versus the Eagles in their first exhibition game of 2014, and their starters saw a bit more action. It's a new regime with John Fox taking over as head coach of the Bears though, and he could be a little more conservative.

Take UNDER.
