Why
CFBD enrichment is off. No API key and no ratings cache, so these numbers are ESPN FPI only.
- PSU rating 18.2, RUTG rating -5.6.
- Fuel: ESPN FPI only. CFBD enrichment is not in this number.
- Home field adds 2.5 to PSU.
- Predicted margin is PSU by 26.3.
- There is no posted spread, so the edge is blank and there is no ATS ticket.
- Model home 26.3. No market line yet. (Rating gap 23.8; home field +2.5).
- Moneyline ticket is PSU, 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 26.3. No market line yet. (Rating gap 23.8; home field +2.5).
Writes this moneyline into the ledger. No point line, and no fake close.
