Looking over the points props, especially the totals per team.
This one looks a bit eschew to me.. Duke o/u 66.5
Duke avg. 77.4 ppg, West Virginia defense avg. 63.1 points allowed.
63.1 points allowed is only 3.4 points below the Duke total. Are we to believe Duke is only 3.4 points better than WV's average opponent in scoring ?
I know the default answer about how this game is "expected" to be a defensive matchup, but still.. the total is 11 points less than Duke avg.
