Market Divergence
🧪 SAL's Synthesis
The evidence suggests that the game will be competitive, with the tight spread indicating both teams are likely to be closely matched. Although Mirkovic has scored above the threshold in many recent games, his inconsistency and potential challenges against Michigan's strong defense raise concerns about his ability to exceed 11.5 points. The slight negative Net EV (-0.02) reinforces the notion that the market pricing may already be reflective of these game dynamics, making this a less favorable bet.
