Why

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

  • M-OH rating -8.4, CONN rating -5.8.
  • Fuel: ESPN FPI only. CFBD enrichment is not in this number.
  • Home field adds 2.5 to M-OH.
  • Predicted margin is CONN by 0.1.
  • Edge is 3.6 points toward CONN.
  • Edge 3.6 pts vs the posted number. (Rating gap -2.6; 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.
