⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Dayton, aligning with sharp money flows and line movement, making a follow-the-public approach optimal given the +EV on the spread. Fordham’s recent three-game win streak is against lesser competition, but Dayton’s home dominance (9-1) and superior metrics suggest a comfortable victory.
