TOTALS 1-1

Michigan won here on New Years Day last time out.

Auburn has played ONE game on Astro (W. 38-28 vs Tenn) while Tech has not played ANY on the carpet this season. The game speeds up tremendously on carpet and VT is at a distinct disadvantage here as they will struggle to adjust to the tempo. Auburn gave up 28 to Tenn on the carpet their worse defensive point total of the season, but their overall team speed also propelled them to 38 offensive points. Auburn knows what to expect on the carpet and will adjust defensive angles accordingly. I respect both defenses, but that carpet speed puts the 44 Total on the questionable side for me.The carpet speed adds to Auburn's many advantages and solidifies them as the right side here tonight.

The UNDER 44 on this game appears to be the consensus on this board and in the majority of the paid services tracked by moneymario's post. Indoors on the carpet for 2 teams that have played one game on it between them is the X factor. As usual when most bettors like one side of the Total they are focusing on only one side of the ball, in this case the defensive side of the ball. Auburn and VT offense's can both score and have QBs that can fling the ball. Both offenses are better tham average in points scored. Just a thought... I like the Auburn side better but that OVER is tempting.

I've only focused on the defenses and haven't given the offenses and enviornment enough consideration. Based on the defenses the 44- seemed high to me. Your insights have me now seriously considering the over. Also a strong chance the defenses or special teams will have a score or 2.
