1.5
Home +1.5 cover posterior is 69.4%, but at -258 the breakeven is 72.1% — the posterior clears the breakeven by less than it appears and the 20.3% sharp divergence is already fully priced into the juice.
Ω Bottom Line
Zero-edge coin flip per calibrated (0.0pp on every market) — sharp money loves Penguins +1.5 but -258 juice eats the entire edge; full PASS.
Game Analysis
Pittsburgh grades a 51.0% home posterior with literally zero calibrated edge — that's a coin flip, not a bet. The only directional money is 5 profitable Polymarket whales at 93% home on $25.5K (STRONG tier), and even that confirms rather than creates an edge with no book quote available. Pittsburgh's injury list (Rust, Soderblom, Brazeau, van Riemsdyk, Graves) is severe (-25% lambda), which suppresses both the spread value and the total — model says 5.5 under lean, but NHL totals historically hit 48.7% and the sport is paused on a -13.9% ROI run.
