Bet the OVER in low scoring games

This is a contrarian strategy for preseason games. When the public thinks the game will be low scoring bet the other side. The OVER is 119-96 (55.3%) when a game has a total of 35 or fewer points.

The inverse holds for games with high totals. The UNDER is 114-93 (55.1%) in games with totals of 40 or more points.
