⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment (60% bets) and sharp money (64%) align heavily on Oilers, indicating market consensus without divergence or RLM to fade. Mathematical sims favor Ducks +1.5 cover due to balanced scoring (both ~3.4 GF/GA) and Ducks’ edge in recent H2H, creating contrarian value despite popularity. Game outlook leans lower-scoring (flipped Under) given Oilers road defensive solidity (GA 3.3) offsetting Ducks home offense.
