*Free Play Under* The UConn Huskies defense has been dominant of late. UConn controls the pace of the game as well. They are well coached and they won't let DePaul get any easy buckets here. DePaul's defense is improved, and DePaul has really struggled to score against the best defenses they have faced. UConn slows the pace and keeps this one lower scoring. Take the under.

*4 Star Play Under* This is a good battle between two teams who are defense first basketball teams. Clemson is 29th in effective field goal percentage defense. The Tigers are 132nd in effective field goal percentage offense.

Cincinnati is 14th in effective field goal percentage defense. The Bearcats are 219th in effective field goal percentage offense.

Cincinnati already had a lower scoring game against a very fast paced Louisville team that is very good on offense. The Bearcats have great shot blockers who should bother Clemson's front line.

Cincinnati settles for a bunch of long range jumpers even though they aren't good at them, and Clemson is fourth nationally in 3 point FG% defense.

A neutral site game too.

Take the under.

*3 Star Play Over* The Cleveland State Vikings are 355th out of 365 teams in the country in defensive efficiency. The Vikings are 353rd in defensive rebounding percentage. They have no shot blockers, and they don't force many turnovers at all.

Cleveland State is also 76th in overall tempo, so they have played in some very high scoring games. They shoot it very well from 3 point range, and they get to the free throw line a bunch.

Milwaukee is 112th in overall tempo, so they prefer to run too. They are 352nd at defending the 3 point shot. They are great on the offensive glass, and they take care of the basketball.

A high scoring contest here.

Take the over.

*3 Star Play Over* The Tampa Bay Bucs offense is healthy again. They have one of the best wide receiver groups in the NFL when healthy, and I think the Panthers will have a hard time shutting down this passing attack. Baker Mayfield himself is healthier as well, and Irving being back in the backfield as a big play maker is crucial.

Carolina's offense has looked better of late. Bryce Young and the offense got it going at home against the Rams a couple weeks ago. They have scored 30 points or more in two of their last four games.

These two defenses are both bottom eight in the NFL in yards per play allowed. The Bucs offense is far better than their season to date stats would suggest since they are finally much healthier. The Panthers offense is playing with confidence now too.

Take the over.

*3 Star Play Over* The Arizona Cardinals have made a habit out of getting into some crazy high shootouts of late. Arizona has seen 60 points or more scored in four of their last six games. They have only had one game in the last six finish below 51 points. Arizona's defense is being shredded on a weekly basis, but Jacoby Brissett and company have been good in catch up mode.

Atlanta's offense is ninth in the NFL in yards per play in their last three games. Kirk Cousins is playing pretty good football right now. Drake London is probable for this game and that would really help the offense a lot too. Kyle Pitts is having some breakout performances of late as well.

It appears Marvin Harrison Jr. will be back for the Cardinals offense here too. He's a big play guy who can really change the Arizona offense.

On the fast track with two struggling defenses and two QB's who have been trending upward of late.

Take the over.

*4 Star Play Under* The Cleveland Browns have the best defense in the NFL at home. They have been shutting down even strong opponents when at home. The Browns offense is still a big weakness. Four of the Browns last five games have finished below this posted total.

The Bills have a very good offense, but they are likely to run the football quite a bit here. I don't expect to see many deep throws and their tempo should be relatively slow.

The weather matters a lot in Cleveland, and it is expected to be quite windy for this game. Sustained winds of 23 mph with gusts of 35-40 mph are in the forecast here.
