Why
CFBD enrichment is off. No API key and no ratings cache, so these numbers are ESPN FPI only.
- ODU rating -7.4, JMU rating 3.2.
- Fuel: ESPN FPI only. CFBD enrichment is not in this number.
- Home field adds 2.5 to ODU.
- Predicted margin is JMU by 8.1.
- Edge is 2.1 points toward JMU.
- Edge 2.1 pts vs the posted number. (Rating gap -10.6; home field +2.5).
- Moneyline ticket is JMU, 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.
