FULL ANALYSIS
Pinnacle spread fair value crushes retail with 65.8% BUF +1.5 vs implied 45%, confirmed by 30.5% sharp-public divergence despite home lean. Extreme $357k whale volume (institutional) + BUF Ostlund out (-6.3%) boosts home ML to 61% true prob for +3.8 EV at -142. Under 6.5 aligns cross-market defensive signal, faded sharp over RLM amid model total weakness (48.7% hist WR).
SHARP MONEY
30.5% sharp edge on home spread (strong signal), moderate RLM on total over; overall favors home directional plays despite Pinnacle spread fair value divergence
Recommended Sizing
