⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Buffalo ML at 66% bets aligning with 71% money, but spread splits show divergence with money 57% on Preds +1.5 signaling sharp action against the favorite. Buffalo’s strong recent form (8-2, 4.1 GF) supports ML edge, while low avg total 6.3 and money on Under indicate a tight, low-scoring affair. Fade public on spread optimal due to RLM potential and sim alignment.
