FULL ANALYSIS
Books price Washington -162 (61.8% implied) and fusion posterior is 61.8% with zero Bayesian edge. Injuries hurt Pittsburgh more (-18.9% vs -15.8%) for +3.1% home tilt, but weak Pinnacle divergence to away and 100% minor whale to away block any home ML value at this juice. Only puck-line fair value (63.7% away +1.5) and RLM over lean keep this a PASS slate.
SHARP MONEY
Sharp edge 0.8% ML to away and 0.3% spread to away, weak signal, no RLM on side; RLM YES on total to over weak
