🧪 SAL's Synthesis
In this competitive matchup between Michigan and Illinois, we expect a faster-paced game with higher scoring opportunities, which aligns perfectly with Cadeau's potential to exceed 17.5 points. The pro agent's supporting evidence about Cadeau's scoring capability and the nature of the game solidifies this wager, particularly given Illinois' strong defensive unit that could compel Cadeau to step up offensively. The Net EV of 0.30 reinforces the trustworthiness of this bet, indicating it is underpriced in the market.
