Line: 160.5
Early-season mid/low-major openings inflate totals toward 165+ expectations; 160.5 still prices heavy pace we can't verify from either roster
Game Analysis
This is a near-pickem with no form data: N/A records, no injuries listed, no model stack. The market's only real signal is the price itself - Coyotes +120 against a 2.5 spread implies the books see a coin flip, so the only defensible angle is the plus-money home side at a slightly better-than-even implied break-even. Totals at 160.5 lean under given early-season mid-major scoring variance, but totals run 48.7% for us historically.
