10,000-game Monte Carlo incorporated current-season recent form (SJSU 20.3 PF / 21.8 PA; NM high-variance but superior outputs), home/away splits, implied pace, and variance around provided rosters and low-scoring trends. No prior-season data used.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public and money align strongly on New Mexico across spread and moneyline with under money also leading, matching the mathematical edges from recent scoring droughts (multiple SJSU games under 40 total) and Lobos’ ability to control games. Follow the public/sharp consensus on the favorite and under is optimal; no fade justified. Overall scoring outlook leans low given SJSU’s 5-4 mark built on tight, low-output contests and NM’s defensive capability against weaker offenses.

🔮 Recommended Play

Follow the public with New Mexico -14.5 and Under 42.5 — highest combined win probability and positive EV from aligned action, form, and simulation.
