This projection was stored by an earlier version of our model, and it does not carry the recorded provenance we now keep, so we cannot state which completed games or market numbers produced it. The score above is exactly what is stored; we will not restate inputs we cannot prove.
This is a model projection, not an official tracked recommendation. No side was published for this game and nothing here is counted in our graded record.
How the model got here
Model projects 25–28. No market line posted yet. Thin sample so far this season, so the projection leans on league baselines.
