⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public betting heavily favors Rutgers on moneyline (71% bets, 76% money) with spread alignment, but NCAAB markets demand fading >65% public sides, supported by sim probabilities showing Penn State value. Defensive efficiencies and pace suggest a low-scoring game under the total. Contrarian logic prevails over consensus without strong counter-metrics.
