⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment aligns with sharp money on Kentucky spread, but Vanderbilt’s superior recent offensive output (101.7 PPG scored, 70.3 allowed) vs Kentucky’s inconsistency (84.3 scored, 77.3 allowed) justifies fading the public slightly for value. Game projects high-scoring at 162 total based on paces and recent trends, favoring Over despite mild public Under lean. No key injuries noted; matchup favors tempo-driven Over.
🔮 Recommended Play
