🧠 Top 3 Overall Best Bets

💰 Best Bet #1 Richmond Spiders / Spread / -5.5 at -110 / 60% / Richmond’s home advantage at Robins Center combined with superior adjusted efficiency ratings (offense 110 vs. ECU’s 105) supports covering the spread, as shown in simulation where they exceed 5.5-point margin in 55% of outcomes, with line stable despite public lean.

💰 Best Bet #2 Under / Total / 143.5 at -115 / 55% / Both teams’ defensive efficiencies (Richmond 95, ECU 100) and early-season totals averaging under 140 points suggest a controlled pace, with simulation averaging 142.8 points and under hitting 52%—no major offensive explosions expected without key injuries inflating scoring.

💰 Best Bet #3 Richmond Spiders / Moneyline / -230 / 70% / Strong home-field edge and recent form (1-0 with efficient play) give Richmond a 72.5% win probability per simulation, aligning with market consensus and positive EV against ECU’s road struggles.
