Public and sharp money align heavily on Utah ML (65%) amid Flames’ poor season record (.402 win%), but divergent spread action (62% money on Flames +1.5) signals value in dog cover with sim-projected close game. Low-scoring outlook prevails (avg 6.1 goals, recent totals under 6.5 in 70% combined games) due to Utah road struggles and Calgary home defense. Fade public ML slightly, follow sharp spread.
