⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public leans Detroit ML at 61% but spread money flows to Orlando +3.5 (59%), signaling sharp action on home dog amid Orlando’s 3-1 H2H edge and +7.4 L10 margin. Simulation converges with this at 65% cover and 58% win prob, confirming positive EV fade opportunity. Overall scoring projects low at 211 total given Orlando’s stingy 105.4 PAPG and sub-215.5 H2H avg, favoring Under despite neutral public bets.
