Player Prop #1: Sam Vinson (Northern Kentucky) / Over Points / 18.5 at -115 / 72% / Vinson averages 20.1 PPG in home games this season with high usage (28%) against Oakland’s weak perimeter defense allowing 25+ to guards in 4 of last 5 road tilts.

Player Prop #3: LJ Wells (Northern Kentucky) / Over Assists / 4.5 at -112 / 65% / Wells dishes 5.3 APG at home, exploiting Oakland’s turnover-forcing defense (18% TO rate) that’s allowed 6+ assists to primary ball-handlers in recent matchups.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Northern Kentucky, aligning with sharp money distribution and line movement, making a follow-public approach optimal rather than fading without contrarian justification. Both teams exhibit solid offensive efficiencies (NKU 108 adj. O, Oakland 105), but defensive lapses suggest a moderate-scoring affair leaning over the total. No major injuries reported as of December 17, 2025, with full rosters active per Rotowire and team sites.
