Current CAR -245 ML / CAR spread 110 / O/U 6.5

Movement No movement data

ML no value at -245 (breakeven 71%); PASS heavy fave per Kelly optimization

Model: 42.3% win rate | n=215 — N=215 NHL; recent 7d -39u; reduce 63-72 conf by 10-15 pts per tier data

FULL ANALYSIS

Isles hammered by injuries (Romanov/DeAngelo/Palmieri/Varlamov/Engvall out) hands CAR edge despite Kochetkov IR; sharp 11.5% spread div (+26EV Bovada) screams value on Hurricanes puckline. Model sees 52% CAR win prob but -245 ML traps (needs 71%); under 6.5 weak signal with depleted offenses. Props lean Aho/Jarvis over vs Isles weak D.

SHARP MONEY

11.5% sharp edge on spread home +26.6% EV vs Bovada; strongest divergence signal despite weak ML/Total

Recommended Sizing

Reduced sizing. Edge exists but sample or signal strength is moderate.
