🧪 SAL's Synthesis
Given the tight Net EV of 0.01, this bet doesn't provide enough of an edge for me to invest confidently. While Arizona's strong home record and their overall winning percentage indicate they should win, Kansas has shown competitiveness away from home and may cover the spread. The narrative surrounding potential complacency from Arizona in a game they're heavily favored in raises sufficient concerns to avoid placing a wager.
