⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment leans slightly toward Coastal Carolina as the underdog, but sharp money favors Louisiana Tech, creating divergence that aligns with reverse line movement and supports fading the public on the spread. Mathematical edges emerge from Louisiana Tech’s stronger current-season efficiency ratings and Coastal Carolina’s injury-impacted secondary, making the favorite the optimal side. Overall game scoring outlook points low, with both offenses hampered by opt-outs and recent low-output performances, favoring the under based on defensive metrics and bowl trends.
