🧠 Top 3 Overall Best Bets

💰 Best Bet #1 [Baylor / Spread / +1.5 at -110 / 55% / Simulation indicates a tight contest with Baylor covering in over half of scenarios, supported by home-court edge and Texas Tech’s minor injury concerns limiting their depth.]

💰 Best Bet #3 [Texas Tech / Moneyline / -115 / 52% / Red Raiders hold a slight edge in adjusted efficiency and recent Big 12 form, with win probability just above 50% in simulations, making the short favorite value against a Baylor team struggling post-holiday slump.]
