Game Analysis
Season opener for both — zero form data, single book, no sharp or whale signals. Home -325 breakevens at 76.5% and we can't honestly clear it, so the ML is a hard PASS; the spread at -7.5/-108 is the only way to express the home lean and it's still thin. Under 155.5 at -115 leans on opening-night rust, but totals are our worst market and this stays a 0.5u floor lean at best.
