📉 Line Movement
Opened at -25.5, moved to -26.5/-27 across books like DraftKings and BetMGM despite heavy public action on Arkansas, indicating some sharp resistance on the spread.

💡 Mathematical Edge (EV)
+3.2% on Under 149.5; simulation under probability exceeds implied odds, with defensive metrics (Arkansas allows 68.2 PPG, Southern scores 62.1) supporting lower total amid neutral-site adjustments.

Top 3 Player Props

• Player Prop #1: Trevon Brazile (Arkansas) / Over Points / 18.5 / -115 / 72% / Brazile’s 17.8 PPG last season rises in home openers; Southern’s weak interior defense allows 42% opponent FG, simulation projects 20+ in high-usage role.
• Player Prop #2: Keyon Menifield (Arkansas) / Over Assists / 3.5 / -110 / 68% / Menifield averaged 3.2 APG with 28% usage; Jaguars’ perimeter pressure yields 14.5 opponent APG, fitting playmaking in fast-break scenarios.
• Player Prop #3: Brandon Weston (Southern) / Under Points / 9.5 / -105 / 65% / Weston’s 8.2 PPG limited by Arkansas’s top-50 defensive efficiency; Hogs force 18% turnover rate, capping scoring in mismatch.

Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Arkansas on the spread, aligning with money distribution and no major reverse line movement, making following the favorite optimal for ML but fading slightly on the large spread due to simulation’s conservative cover rate. Sharp action appears balanced, with no clear contrarian edge. Overall game scoring leans low, as both teams’ adjusted efficiencies (Arkansas 105.2 off/98.7 def, Southern 92.1 off/104.3 def per KenPom previews) project a controlled affair under the total.
