Night game New Orleans Breakers -5 vs Mich Panthers. Total 42.
Lean towards the Breakers -5 in this one. They cover against bad teams like the Panthers. They beat the Maulers by 10 and Gamblers by 7 in the last 3 weeks.
The Panthers lose well too against good teams. The lost by 16 to the Stallions and 7 to the Bandits. I consider the Stallions and Bandits as performance bookends for the Breakers who are somewhere in between those two in level of play (maybe closer to the Stallions).
Recent games for New Orleans against "bad" teams show point totals of 42 and 39.
When Panthers play "good" teams like New Orleans the totals have been 50, 47, 51.
That lends itself to selecting the over 42 for the game. But, I think we will be depending upon New Orleans to get us there and the pts for and pts against average for these teams doesn't push me over the top. So, I'm avoiding the totals on this game.
