Market Divergence
🧪 SAL's Synthesis
Given the competitive nature of the matchup and both teams' defensive strengths, the bet on Kylan Boswell Under 12.5 points is tentative at best. While the pro agent's evidence highlights his scoring struggles against a strong Michigan defense, the anti agent's emphasis on a favorable home environment and higher-paced game suggests Boswell could have more scoring opportunities. The close Net EV of 0.01 signals an inefficient market, so there's insufficient confidence to warrant a stronger wager here.
