Why

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

  • NDSU rating 0.3, FOR rating -12.
  • Fuel: ESPN FPI only. CFBD enrichment is not in this number.
  • Home field adds 2.5 to NDSU.
  • Predicted margin is NDSU by 14.8.
  • There is no posted spread, so the edge is blank and there is no ATS ticket.
  • Model home 14.8. No market line yet. (Rating gap 12.3; home field +2.5; FCS placeholder -12).
  • Moneyline ticket is NDSU, 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 14.8. No market line yet. (Rating gap 12.3; home field +2.5; FCS placeholder -12).

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