⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment and sharp money align heavily on Flyers ML (60%/65%), supporting home edge with superior recent form (7-3 last 10, +1 avg margin), though spread money divergence to Bruins signals pro action on dog. Simulations confirm low cover rate for Flyers -1.5 but solid ML prob; totals lean under true prob (38% over 6.5) flipped per NHL historicals amid mutual 3.1 GA and sub-6 recent H2H avg. Overall low-scoring affair expected with defensive focus.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on spread with Boston Bruins +1.5 — sim and money convergence outweigh public evenness for highest EV.
