TOTAL

Line: 8.0
calibrated posterior shows 65.2% over probability, but this is derived from a flawed scoring model (total projection 22.5). Extremely low confidence.
Game Analysis
The sharp money is screaming Tigers +1.5. Pinnacle fair value shows 64.8% away cover probability, yet retail books are offering +475 — a +50% EV arbitrage that rarely exists. Whale signals confirm with $215K volume on the away side (EXTREME tier). The Bayesian posterior on the spread shows +3.9pp edge, and RLM confirms syndicate action. The moneyline is a pass — only +0.3pp edge with no sharp confirmation. The total is a stay-away: OMEGA's 22.5 projection is clearly inflated by data quality issues, and the market's 8.5 is more reliable. Take the Tigers spread before the line moves.
