⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Houston, aligning with money distribution and the model’s estimated probabilities, making a follow-the-public approach optimal here rather than a forced fade. Sharp action appears limited, with minor RLM on Baylor not strong enough to override Houston’s defensive metrics and road resilience in the Big 12. Overall game scoring outlook points to a moderate total around 145, driven by Houston’s controlled pace but vulnerable to Baylor’s rebounding for extra possessions.
