Market vs model

Number from DraftKings, via ESPN.

Why

nflverse enrichment is off. There is no ratings cache, so these numbers are ESPN FPI only. Run npm run nfl:refresh.

• DAL rating 3.1, WSH rating -3.2.
• Fuel: ESPN FPI. nflverse enrichment is off.
• Home field adds 2.4 to DAL.
• Predicted margin is DAL by 8.6.
• There is no posted spread, so the edge is blank and there is no ATS ticket.
• Model home 8.6. No market line yet. (Rating gap 6.2; home field +2.4). Fuel: ESPN FPI. nflverse enrichment is off.
• Moneyline ticket is DAL, because the predicted margin clears 2 points.
• No totals ticket. On 2024–2025 closing totals the EPA number was less accurate than the market, so the total stays on the card and off the ticket.

Lock a ticket

Same rules as the board. ATS only when the edge clears 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 fills in after the game is final if the nflverse cache has a closing spread. Until then it stays blank.
