Milwaukee has been in poor form lately, but the team will be in good shape for the big game. That's why we won't bet on the result but instead play a neutral total. Milwaukee and New York, particularly, pay a lot of attention to defense. In such a crucial matchup, they'll come out on top. All the more so when the opponents faced each other head-to-head in previous seasons, there were far more low-scoring games than high-scoring ones.
