💰 Best Bet #1 [Oklahoma / Spread / +5.5 at -110 / 55% / Alabama’s key injuries like Wrightsell and Bristow out weaken their depth, giving Oklahoma a covering edge despite public favoritism toward the Tide; sim shows 52% cover rate aligning with recent line softening.]
💰 Best Bet #2 [Over / Total / 158.5 at -110 / 52% / Both teams play at a moderate tempo with Alabama’s offense averaging high efficiency but defensive lapses; recent games trend over, supported by 55% sim probability for exceeding the line.]
💰 Best Bet #3 [Alabama / Moneyline / -240 / 60% / Tide hold a 58% win probability per sim, bolstered by home-court edge and superior adjusted efficiency ratings, though injuries temper the margin.]

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Alabama, aligning with money distribution, but the line movement against the public hints at sharp play on Oklahoma amid Tide injuries. Following the public on Alabama ML holds merit given their win probability, yet fading on the spread offers the strongest EV due to depth concerns. Overall game scoring projects moderately high, with both offenses capable but Alabama’s absences potentially leading to a closer, transitional contest.
