⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment leans toward Central Arkansas, aligning with sharp money indicators and mathematical projections from efficiency metrics, making a follow play optimal rather than a fade. Eastern Illinois’ injuries to key rotation players further tilt the matchup. Overall game scoring outlook points to a controlled pace under the total, given both teams’ subpar offensive rebounding and 3-point efficiency in the young 2025 season.
