⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment leans heavily toward the Vaqueros as the slight road favorite, aligning with money distribution and line movement, which supports following rather than fading in this low-volume early-season matchup. Sharp action appears confirmatory based on stable totals and no reverse movement, with both teams’ defensive metrics (eFG% under 50% in openers) pointing to a controlled pace. Overall game scoring outlook favors the under, as recent trends show unders hitting in 70% of similar cross-conference games with comparable efficiencies.
