10* UNDER Westham/Newcastle (EPL TOW)

Both teams really need a win here, for entirely different reasons. Because of that though, I'm expecting a "war of attrition" here, where each sits back and waits for the other to make the first mistake. Newcastle United is looking to strengthen its spot in the Top 4, while the Hammers are out to win B2B games for just the second time this season. The Magpies are off a 2-1 win at St. Mary's. They've been fantastic defensively, posting a league-high 12 clean sheets, while also not conceding a goal in their last six top-flight matches. Westham beat Everton 2-0 last week, and then also beat Derby County at the FA Cup on Monday night. Expect the Hammers to carry over their recent up-tick in defensive play as well. All things considered, I think this total is high; the play is the "under!"
