Why
CFBD enrichment is off. No API key and no ratings cache, so these numbers are ESPN FPI only.
- UGA rating 27.1, VAN rating 6.1.
- Fuel: ESPN FPI only. CFBD enrichment is not in this number.
- Home field adds 2.5 to UGA.
- Predicted margin is UGA by 23.5.
- Edge is 0 points toward VAN.
- Edge 0 pts — inside the 1.5-pt no-bet band. (Rating gap 21; home field +2.5).
- Moneyline ticket is UGA, 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.
Edge 0 pts — inside the 1.5-pt no-bet band. (Rating gap 21; home field +2.5).
Writes this moneyline into the ledger. No point line, and no fake close.
