⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors San Diego State, aligning with money distribution and sharp metrics, making a follow play optimal rather than a fade—contrarian logic doesn’t apply here due to consensus on the favorite’s edge. SDSU’s top-tier defense (No. 18 in adj. D) stifles Lamar’s average offense, projecting a controlled, lower-scoring affair under the total. Overall game outlook leans toward a decisive home win with limited scoring (avg. sim total 142.3, but matchup factors push under edge).
