This is a 10* NON-CONF TOW on the UNDER Canes/Knights.

As primarily a situational capper, this one is based upon a couple of great situations here. I guess all of the different factors and storylines involving these two Conference contending sides that each finds itself in coming into this one on Monday night all add up to this being more of a defensive battle, than a high-scoring "shootout" in my opinion.

Both teams are coming off high-scoring losses, and I am expecting each to now double-down on the defensive end in this late Monday night contest.

Vegas has seen the total go UNDER in three of its last four (dating to last year) off a road loss as a favorite.

Carolina has also seen the total go UNDER in four of its last six (dating to last year) off a road loss as a fav.

Look for these two teams to play to a tighter, and ultimately lower-scoring defensive battle on Monday night.

The play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
