Ω Bottom Line

Game Analysis

LMU home vs a Division II visitor and the market only asks 6.5 — projected fair spread is 7-8, so the home spread at -108 is the only positive-EV quote on the board. The -305 moneyline needs 75.3% and the model sits at ~71%, so it's a hard pass. Total of 161.5 looks 1.5-2 points fat for a November rhythm-game — light under, but totals are historically the weakest market here.
