Movement N/A

Model: 47.7% win rate | n=241 — Reduce mid-tiers per tier data; moneylines profitable strong tier
FULL ANALYSIS
PIT spread +24.8% EV vs Pinnacle fair (48% home) at retail +160; sharp 11% divergence + FLA missing Ekblad/Reinhart crushes Panthers road. Omega even spread ignores injuries but sharp money on home. Over 6.5 has 5.2% sharp edge + RLM despite model total glitch; cap at 64 due to totals losing mid-tiers.
SHARP MONEY
11.0% sharp edge on PIT spread (strong signal) + 5.2% on over total with RLM (strong); +4 confidence boost
Recommended Sizing
