⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors the Senators on the moneyline, but divergent money distribution and slight line movement toward the Jets suggest sharp action on the underdog, creating value in fading the public where EV supports it. Both teams show middling offensive output in the current season, with Jets’ high-danger chances slightly edging Ottawa’s, pointing to a potentially tight, low-scoring affair overall. Following the math aligns with Jets’ underlying edges without forcing a fade.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Jets ML — simulation and market signals confirm higher probability despite popularity on home side.
