Current MTL -130 ML / NJ +110 ML | Spread MTL -130 (implied ~0.5) | Total 6.5
Movement RLM detected on spread (to home) and total (to under)
+253% EV on Devils spread at +425 (Bovada) vs fair -205; breakeven 56.5% < our 67.2%
Model: 42.3% win rate | n=215 — N=215 NHL; poor vs MTL (2-8), OK vs NJ (6-9); tier data shows ML profitable in lean/strong
FULL ANALYSIS
Devils spread +425 is obscene value with 67.2% Pinnacle fair line vs retail disasterbook; 50.7% sharp divergence + RLM confirms syndicate hammer. MTL gutted by Carrier/Dach/Laine outs while Devils miss bottom depth only. Under 6.5 has 15% EV at +125 with RLM despite model total struggles.
SHARP MONEY
50.7% spread divergence + RLM on spread/total; Pinnacle fair spread 67.2% home vs retail +425 offers massive overlay
