That being said, I'm beginning to like the over because of the fact they're not calling for those 50-below wind chills like they were a few days ago and the fact these two teams are familiar with each other from playing against each other a lot the last couple years and producing shootouts.
If I were to consider the under, I might think first half under because just like in the Saints-Eagles game, sometimes it takes a while to warm up. The temperature is going to be almost identical to what it was in the 2007 Championship game and that final score was 23-20. The halftime score that year was 10-7 and I would compare these two teams very similar to those two that year.
