Why

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

  • ALA rating 22.3, AUB rating 12.9.
  • Fuel: ESPN FPI only. CFBD enrichment is not in this number.
  • Home field adds 2.5 to ALA.
  • Predicted margin is ALA by 11.9.
  • Edge is 1.9 points toward ALA.
  • Edge 1.9 pts vs the posted number. (Rating gap 9.4; home field +2.5).
  • Moneyline ticket is ALA, 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.

Writes this spread into the ledger. Closing-line value stays blank.

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