Public sentiment heavily favors Loyola Chicago, aligning with sharp money and market movement, making following the public the optimal approach backed by ratings convergence and home advantage. Northern Illinois shows vulnerability in defensive rebounding and turnover rates, but no major contrarian edge emerges without RLM divergence. Overall game scoring outlook leans slightly over, driven by Loyola’s efficient offense against NIU’s middling defense in early 2025 season play.
