💰 Best Bet #1 Texas Tech / Spread / -9.5 at -110 / 65% / Texas Tech’s superior adjusted efficiency (KenPom #18) and defensive rebounding edge over Wake Forest’s slower tempo support covering the spread, especially with home-like neutral site advantage in early season.
💰 Best Bet #2 Under / Total / 158.5 at -110 / 58% / Both teams rank in the bottom half for pace and effective FG% allowed, with recent games averaging under this total; injuries to key scorers limit high-output potential.
💰 Best Bet #3 Texas Tech / Moneyline / -450 / 78% / Texas Tech’s 4-0 start and top-25 ranking provide clear edge over Wake Forest’s 3-1 record, with line movement favoring the Red Raiders amid sharp action.

Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: JT Toppin / Over Points / 14.5 at -115 / 72% / Toppin’s 16.8 PPG average and Wake Forest’s weak interior defense (allowing 42% 2PT) favor the over, boosted by high usage in transition.
Player Prop #2: Hunter Sallis / Under Points / 17.5 at -110 / 68% / Sallis faces Texas Tech’s top-20 defensive efficiency, dropping his output in tough matchups; recent games under this line vs similar foes.
Player Prop #3: JT Toppin / Over Rebounds / 8.5 at -120 / 70% / Toppin grabs 9.2 RPG with Wake Forest’s poor offensive rebounding (28%), and Texas Tech’s pace ensures rebound opportunities.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Texas Tech, aligning with sharp money and line movement, making a follow on the Red Raiders optimal rather than a fade. Wake Forest’s recent close loss to Michigan highlights defensive vulnerabilities, but both teams’ mid-tempo styles suggest a controlled game under the total. Overall scoring outlook leans low due to strong defenses and limited explosive plays early in the season.
