Details

We estimate Houston has a ~37% chance to win here while the market price of 3.4 (29.4% implied) underestimates their chances. Public lines and multiple previews favor Arizona State (home, ranked and listed as a ~7.5-point favorite), which appears to have pushed the home moneyline down to 1.31 (76.3% implied). After accounting for Houston's strong 6-1 form, matchup dynamics, and model projections in the research that show closer contests (one model around ~50/50 for the visiting Arizona program), we believe the true probability is materially higher than the away implied probability. Using our 37% win estimate against the available 3.4 decimal price produces positive expected value.
