⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public leans Flyers but money slightly divergent toward Sabres, with RLM on puck line indicating sharp respect for Flyers cover potential amid Sabres’ 11-11-4 mediocrity. Metrics favor low total given both teams’ sub-3.0 xGA/60 and recent defensive regression. Fade public lightly on spread where EV peaks.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Philadelphia Flyers puck line — mathematical probability highest at 52% cover with +EV from alignment.
