Game Analysis
Auburn lays -26.5 vs SE Louisiana with zero market movement and no model pack attached — the spread edge is roster depth, not price. ML is unusable at -20000 (99.4% breakeven), so the realistic plays are a lean on the spread and a 0.5u under at 151.5, where blowout second halves historically bleed. Totals are our weakest market (48.7% WR), so this stays at lean tier. Calibration sample here is 0 graded games — treat every read as small-N.
