Game Analysis

The biggest edge in this game isn't on the moneyline — it's the total. OMEGA's Poisson model projects 7.5 total goals, while the market is stuck at 3.5. That's a 4-goal gap, the largest model-market discrepancy in the analysis. Bayesian fusion gives OVER 63.7% at market 50% — a +13.7pp edge worth +24.9 EV per $100. The moneyline also shows value: Sporting KC at +475 has a 36% win probability per the model vs 29.8% implied, yielding +107 EV. Whale volume is extreme ($357K) but split 55/45, suggesting no consensus. Data quality is degraded (55% signals available), so confidence is tempered, but the over is the sharpest play here.
