💰 Best Bet #1 [Ohio Bobcats / Spread / -1.5 at -110 / 58% / Ohio’s home efficiency and recent scoring trends support covering the narrow line against an untested Illinois State squad, with simulation backing a 58% cover rate despite Illinois’s slight edge in win probability.]
💰 Best Bet #2 [Over / Total / 161 at -110 / 55% / Both teams exhibit mid-tempo styles with Ohio allowing 89 points in their opener; defensive rebounding weaknesses suggest a combined output exceeding the line in 55% of simulations.]
💰 Best Bet #3 [Illinois St Redbirds / Moneyline / +105 / 54% / Value lies on the underdog as simulation projects 54% win chance versus implied 48.8% odds, bolstered by Ohio’s 0-1 start and Illinois State’s fresh roster motivation.]
