Game Analysis

Bayesian posterior locks home ML at 74.7% matching market but -295 juice forces PASS per rules (need 80%+ conf). Spread -1.5 offers slim value with implied 55% cover prob from ML fusion vs book 52%. Moderate whales ($15k) on home confirm; Pinnacle fair ML 79.5% hints true edge but data too thin (no MC/elo/poisson).
