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.
1 more ladder hidden — too few priced rungs or too little trading behind them to read a curve from.
Order flow
1,066 trades · $37,143Money ahead of trade count — fewer, larger orders on this side.
Trade count ahead of money — many small orders on this side.
Share of money and share of trades among the side that crossed the spread to get filled, over the last 1,066 trades. This is exchange flow, not a sportsbook's handle — a different set of people, and a smaller pool.

Money ahead of trade count — fewer, larger orders on this side.
Totals trade thinly here — not enough to read a split from.
Read at 47.5, 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
0.80 / 0.81 · 1¢ wideDollars waiting to be filled on each side — what has not traded yet, which is the opposite of a handle figure. Resting orders can be pulled, so this is a picture of intent, not a prediction.
