Why

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

  • NYJ rating -3.3, DEN rating -0.3.
  • Fuel: ESPN FPI. nflverse enrichment is off.
  • Home field adds 2.4 to NYJ.
  • Predicted margin is DEN by 0.6.
  • Edge is 4.9 points toward NYJ.
  • Edge 4.9 pts — inside the 5-pt no-bet band. (Rating gap -3; home field +2.4). Fuel: ESPN FPI. nflverse enrichment is off.
  • Moneyline is a pass — the predicted margin is inside 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.

Edge 4.9 pts — inside the 5-pt no-bet band. (Rating gap -3; home field +2.4). Fuel: ESPN FPI. nflverse enrichment is off.

No moneyline ticket — predicted margin is inside 2 points.
