Prediction
Gamblers 17, Maulers 10
Money line
PASS on the money line. Both teams are struggling, but we have actually seen the Gamblers win a game this season.
The Maulers have the league’s worst offense and only 1 team in theNorth Divison has allowed more than the 92 points they have.
However, the price to bet the Gamblers makes it not worth a wager. PASS.
Against the spread
The Maulers have not lost by fewer than 8 points this season.
The Gamblers have won once.
The Maulers average less than 10 points per game, while the Gamblers have averaged 21.8 points per game.
Take the GAMBLERS -5.5 (-110).
Over/Under
The projected total is quite low, but that is understandable with how few points the Maulers have scored this season.
Two of their games have had at least 34 points.
Three of the Gamblers’ 4 games have had at least 34 points, but in this game, I don’t expect either team to score much.
Take UNDER 33.5 (-107).
