Game Analysis

Ohio at -575 is a no-bet: that price demands 85.2% and our independent read is only ~78% — the ML is pure vig. The playable angle is the spread at -14 (-110), where the model sees a smaller true margin (~11-12) than the market implies, though the number sits exactly on the key 14 and we lack roster/injury data. Total is a small under lean at 51.5; MAC midweek scoring tends to disappoint, but totals are our weakest market so sizing stays tiny.
