162.5
Both model totals point under the market: decomposed ratings 132.0 and OMEGA 157.0 vs 162.5 — the conservative 157 still implies ~5 pts of market overpricing.
Ω Bottom Line
Under 162.5 at -112 (0.5u) — OMEGA total and decomposed 132 both sit under the market, but a 19.5-pt spread gap on a 1-game sample keeps every non-total pick at PASS.

Game Analysis
Santa Clara should win and likely cover at home — the EWMA form gap (89.0 vs 63.0) supports the favorite — but the omega line's absurd -35.0 vs the market's -15.5 is model noise on a one-game-per-team sample, not a 19.5-point edge. ML at -1800 needs 94.7% to break even against our 87.6% posterior: hard pass. The only defensible lean is the under, where both the decomposed-ratings total (132.0) and omega total (157.0) sit below the market's 162.5.
