This game features two defensive minded coaches and their focus is going to be on establishing the run on both sides. Expect the defenses to be ahead of the offenses on both sides so points should be at a premium in this game. The respective backup quarterbacks, vying for positions, on both sides have different degrees of experience with real time snaps so it is not a slam dunk that they can complete any meaningful drives in this game as they all have been inconsistent. There should be a lot of failed drives and empty trips to the red zone, and maybe a few missed field goals as defense is emphasized. These Hall of Fame games have trended to the under in the past. The last five Hall of Fame games have averaged 30.2 points, so the under has real value.

Best bet: take the Under the Total.
