Why

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

  • WMU rating 0, BOIS rating 8.1.
  • Fuel: ESPN FPI only. CFBD enrichment is not in this number.
  • Home field adds 2.5 to WMU.
  • Predicted margin is BOIS by 5.7.
  • Edge is 1.3 points toward WMU.
  • Edge 1.3 pts — inside the 1.5-pt no-bet band. (Rating gap -8.2; home field +2.5).
  • Moneyline ticket is BOIS, 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 1.3 pts — inside the 1.5-pt no-bet band. (Rating gap -8.2; home field +2.5).

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