With the total opening at 57.5, the money has come in to push that total up a full point to 58.5, which is an awfully high total for two teams that haven’t played much competitive football this season. The early lean on this game is towards the Under, but waiting and seeing where this total goes before kick-off is likely the best way to approach it. Under and Dog or pass.
