Analysis
Not much daylight here, and that’s exactly the point — Metis and Vegas both land on SMU -6.5 because the profiles line up clean. SMU’s top-30 offense (122.9 adj OE) against a Miami OH defense sitting 156th is the kind of mismatch that doesn’t need a narrative, just a calculator, even if Miami’s shiny 59.2% eFG (6th) tries to distract you.
But Miami OH is basically a jump-shooting team that can’t rebound (23% ORB, 329th), which is a problem against an SMU team that’s top-60 on the offensive glass and far more balanced. The simulations split the difference (5.5 vs 7.3), and that’s your signal this number is efficient, not wrong — Vegas didn’t miss, Metis just confirmed it.
