🧪 SAL's Synthesis
The game is expected to be tightly contested given Kansas's ability to remain competitive on the road and their strong defensive setups. Arizona has the edge statistically and at home, but the overall narrative suggests that Kansas can keep the game within a tight margin, which weakens the case for Arizona covering -8.5. With a Net EV of -0.08, it indicates that the market is fairly priced, making this a situation where I would pass on this wager.
