Air Force was able to get their first win of the season last time out, but they are only scoring 62 points per game this year.

SIU Edwardsville has alternated wins and losses over their last four games and they are allowing just 65.4 points against per game. The Cougars are shooting 46% from the field, but they have scored 61 points or fewer in two of their last three games. Both teams are very low scoring, so I like the under here.
