Why

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

  • SAC rating -25, MASS rating -11.4.
  • Fuel: ESPN FPI only. CFBD enrichment is not in this number.
  • Home field adds 2.5 to SAC.
  • Predicted margin is MASS by 11.1.
  • Edge is 7.1 points toward MASS.
  • Edge 7.1 pts vs the posted number. (Rating gap -13.6; home field +2.5).
  • Moneyline ticket is MASS, 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.

Writes this spread into the ledger. Closing-line value stays blank.

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