Why
CFBD enrichment is off. No API key and no ratings cache, so these numbers are ESPN FPI only.
- MD rating 5.5, UCLA rating 7.4.
- Fuel: ESPN FPI only. CFBD enrichment is not in this number.
- Home field adds 2.5 to MD.
- Predicted margin is MD by 0.6.
- Edge is 2.1 points toward MD.
- Edge 2.1 pts vs the posted number. (Rating gap -1.9; home field +2.5).
- Moneyline is a pass — the predicted margin is inside 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.
No moneyline ticket — predicted margin is inside 2 points.
