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 28–25, a -3 margin against a market number of 29.5 — a 32.5-point edge toward the road side. Thin sample so far this season, so the projection leans on league baselines.
