💰 Best Bet #1 [Northwestern / Spread / -20.5 at -110 / 68% / Northwestern’s superior adjusted efficiency ratings and home-court dominance in the current season give them a strong edge, with recent form showing consistent blowouts against weaker opponents like Howard.]

💰 Best Bet #2 [Under / Total / 135.5 at -110 / 63% / Both teams exhibit low-tempo play and poor offensive rebounding percentages this season, leading to below-average scoring outputs, especially in Northwestern’s defensive setups.]

💰 Best Bet #3 [Northwestern / Moneyline / -2500 / 85% / Overwhelming win probability driven by talent disparity, with Howard struggling against top-100 teams in efficiency metrics.]
