Why
CFBD enrichment is off. No API key and no ratings cache, so these numbers are ESPN FPI only.
- IU rating 24.6, NU rating 9.3.
- Fuel: ESPN FPI only. CFBD enrichment is not in this number.
- Home field adds 2.5 to IU.
- Predicted margin is IU by 17.8.
- Edge is 3.2 points toward NU.
- Edge 3.2 pts vs the posted number. (Rating gap 15.3; home field +2.5).
- Moneyline ticket is IU, 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.
Frozen at +21 (-110). CLV —. A later board number does not move this.
Writes this moneyline into the ledger. No point line, and no fake close.
