⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public bets slightly favor the Bakersfield dog (53%) with money even heavier (58%), suggesting possible sharp action on +10.5, but simulation and home-court dynamics point to value fading the dog. Market shows alignment on under total, matching sim’s lower avg scoring projection from UCR’s defensive recent outing. Overall low-scoring affair expected with UCR pulling away late.
🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on CSU Bakersfield +10.5 — sim math favors UC Riverside cover.
