Game: East Carolina at Maryland (Wednesday 12/29 20:00 CET)
This play is a typical no-brainer and I'll be surprise if total number of points don't go over eighty points becuase this match-up has a lot of touchdowns written all over it. Eastern Carolina has got quite solid offense but a X-factor is their pathetic defense, which is one of the worsts through all teams in bowl games for sure. They were allowing 43.4 points per game during whole season and it caused their bad ending of the season, in which they went 1-4 SU. There were 94.8 points per game in these five matches and of course OVER was 5-0 then and generally Pirates are 9-3 O/U on the season. Maryland is possessing a lot better defense of course but against an explosive opponents offense they'll give up points for sure - they've been overish as well, going 7-3 O/U so far. I think that only few turnover near the endzone might make the total to go UNDER because lately Eastern Carolina showed that they cannot defend, while are potent offensively. Both teams are using passing more than rushing, so although Maryland likes to run more, it shouldn't run the clock too much because they should be getting first downs quickly as opponents are allowing 222.1 rushing yards per game.
Pick: 1 unit on Game Total OVER 68 points @ 1.952
