-1.5
Sharp vs public spread signal shows 10.8% edge favoring home; +EV analysis on Sharp Action +260 implies fair value 36.6% vs market 25% (de-vigged), a real retail-vs-sharp discrepancy.
Ω Bottom Line
Devils spread +260 is the only real +EV (+31.8%) but injuries to four Devils make it a coin flip — bet small or pass.

Game Analysis
Devils enter as slight favorites but face significant injury absences (Kovacevic, Bjugstad, Casey) that our injury model rates as a -18.9% impact. Flyers are also banged up but less so. The market has not adjusted fully, leaving the spread at -1.5 with heavy juice on the Flyers side. Whale money on Devils ML suggests sharp action, but the injury gap is real. With data quality degraded and no positive EV on any line, all picks are low-confidence leans. Totals are a pass given historical underperformance.
