⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors the Patriots at 68%, but money distribution shows divergence with 42% on Browns, suggesting sharp interest in the underdog amid stable lines. This setup justifies fading the public on the spread, as Browns’ defensive metrics and simulation edges outweigh Pats’ home advantage. Overall game scoring leans higher than the total, driven by both offenses’ improving efficiencies against middling defenses, though weather (cool 52°F, light wind) tempers extremes.

🔮 Recommended Play

Fade the public on Browns +7 — mathematical probability favors the cover with positive EV from divergent money and contextual defensive matchup.
