First off, these are not huge scoring teams. DePaul is off to a 7-1 start under new coach Tony Stubblefield. But this is the Blue Demons' first road game and it comes at a tough venue. DePaul has been playing better defense lately holding its last four opponents to 68 points or fewer. I"m anticipating the Blue Demons to be very cautious here. The Blue Demons have gone Under the total in 13 of the last 17 times they've been a 'dog.

Louisville ranks 45th in defensive field goal percentage. If you discount the 73 points the Cardinals gave up to powerful Michigan State, they are holding their last five foes to 61.6 points a game.
