Point differential, shrunk and adjusted for home field. Fitted on 1,087 games (2022–25) and scored on seasons it never saw: 12.9 points of error against 14.0 for no model. Against the closing line on a full season it went 133–133 — exactly even, and the closing line predicted the margin better than this did. Use it to understand a game, not to beat a price. Neither side has played yet, so both ratings are last season’s.

Player props
exchangeThe exchange lists a separate contract at every rung of a player's stat, so what you get is the market's whole probability curve rather than one posted number. The implied line is where that curve crosses 50% — the number a book would post, derived rather than quoted.
7 more ladders hidden — too few priced rungs or too little trading behind them to read a curve from.
Order flow
975 trades · $20,649Share of money and share of trades among the side that crossed the spread to get filled, over the last 975 trades. This is exchange flow, not a sportsbook's handle — a different set of people, and a smaller pool.

Trade count ahead of money — many small orders on this side.
Totals trade thinly here — not enough to read a split from.
Read at 46.5, the strike the market itself prices nearest a coin flip. Far rungs carry more contracts but they are longshots, not a view on the total.

Resting size
