AT 7:00pm ET, my MAAC Total Of the Year is on Rider vs Fairfield Over. Both teams, particularly Rider, have primarily gone under in their non-conference games and that has kept this total nice and low. This is the start of conference play though and things are about to change. Last season's games between these teams had o/u lines of 143.5 (that was almost exactly 1 year ago and was the first MAAC game for both) and 150.5. The first of those games, the 12/3/23 one, saw 169 points scored! All in regulation. 90 by halftime. The Broncos had scored 65 or less in 5 of their previous 6, including 50 or less in 2 of those. The Stags had scored 67 or less in 3 of their previous 4 before that game, including 47 in one. So, both teams were having trouble scoring but that changed when they faced each other. The 2nd game wasn't as high-scoring but still ended up with 151. They will again bring out the best in each other and this one will get over the 140 mark. Play on the Over.
