🧪 SAL's Synthesis
The bet on Jake Davis Over 6.5 points seems unwise given the current matchup and his recent performance. While the pro analysis highlights the potential for increased scoring opportunities in a tight contest with Michigan, the anti analysis points out that Illinois faces a strong defensive team known for stifling scoring, alongside Davis's tendency to underperform this season. Given the final Net EV of -0.05, which indicates that this bet is likely overpriced, it's prudent to avoid this wager.
