Richie’s Take: Just about every current statistic and betting trend indicates this will be a low scoring affair between 2 mediocre teams in the American Athletic Football Conference. But if you look at recent history, there are some fireworks when these teams get together. Don’t be surprised if the combination of Friday Night Lights and the propensity to score when these teams meet bucks the falling Total.
