⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Wofford, aligning with money distribution but showing no significant reverse line movement, suggesting the favorite is fairly priced without sharp resistance. Mathematical edges favor fading the public slightly on the spread due to Western Carolina’s home defensive splits and Wofford’s road turnover issues (18% rate). Overall game scoring outlook points to a lower total, as both squads rank in the bottom half for tempo and efficiency against conference foes, with injuries minimally impacting key rotations.
