Why

CFBD enrichment is off. No API key and no ratings cache, so these numbers are ESPN FPI only.

  • MISS rating 17.7, LOU rating 13.9.
  • Fuel: ESPN FPI only. CFBD enrichment is not in this number.
  • Neutral site, so home field is 0.
  • Predicted margin is MISS by 3.8.
  • There is no posted spread, so the edge is blank and there is no ATS ticket.
  • Model home 3.8. No market line yet. (Rating gap 3.8; neutral site (no home field)).
  • Moneyline ticket is MISS, because the predicted margin clears 2 points.
  • No totals model — we do not guess over/unders.

Lock a ticket

Same rules as the board. ATS only when the edge clears 1.5 and the rating is not a placeholder. Moneyline only when the model has a winner by 2 or more. The lock stores the line now. CLV stays empty until there is a closing number.

Model home 3.8. No market line yet. (Rating gap 3.8; neutral site (no home field)).

Writes this moneyline into the ledger. No point line, and no fake close.
