🧪 SAL's Synthesis
In this matchup between Michigan and Illinois, the high total of 158.5 suggests a potentially fast-paced game; however, both agents provide strong evidence against Kylan Boswell exceeding 12.5 points. His lower scoring average, coupled with Michigan's strong defensive reputation, indicates that it will be a challenge for Boswell to find scoring opportunities. The final Net EV of -0.10 reflects a consensus that this bet is overpriced, making it a decision to pass rather than wager.
