⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Charlotte at home, but divergent money distribution and reverse line movement point to sharp action on Rice, making a fade of the public optimal for the spread. Both teams exhibit middling offensive ratings this season (Charlotte ~102 adj off, Rice ~98), paired with strong defenses, suggesting a lower-scoring affair overall. No major injuries reported, but travel for Rice could factor into a close contest.
