⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public and money splits align heavily on Oilers across ML/spread (64%/69%), indicating consensus but overvaluing home team amid poor recent form (3-7 L10, lost 3/4 to Ducks). Mathematical sim and H2H favor Ducks covering +1.5 with close margins; game projects low-scoring under flip due to regression in high recent totals but solid combined GA (6.8). Fade public optimal as EV lies with Ducks sides.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Ducks +1.5 — highest probability edge from form, sim, and market overreaction to Oilers stars.
