⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public and money align heavily on Nashville ML, but spread shows divergence with sharp money (59%) on Seattle +1.5 signaling pro action amid stable lines. Sim and metrics confirm value fading public on dog cover in projected close, low-scoring affair (avg 5.8 total). Offensive struggles (Nash 3.0 GF, Sea 2.9) and recent unders support flipped Under edge despite season avgs projecting slight over.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Seattle Kraken — sim-backed probability and money split yield highest EV.
