⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors the Ohio Bobcats as home favorites, but the divergent money distribution with more on Arkansas State suggests sharp action on the underdog, creating value in fading the public on the spread. Both teams exhibit balanced offensive and defensive metrics, with Ohio’s home efficiency edge offset by Arkansas State’s recent form, leading to a projected close contest. Overall game scoring outlook leans slightly under due to deliberate paces (68 possessions per game combined) and solid interior defenses limiting second-chance points.
