⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment favors Detroit at 55%, but money distribution leans 62% toward Seattle, indicating sharp action on the home team amid divergent alignment. Following the money aligns with mathematical edges from simulations and xG metrics, where Kraken’s home advantage creates value despite public hype on Red Wings’ road underdog status. Overall game scoring outlook points to a low-event affair, with both defenses allowing under 2.7 xGA/60 and key injuries thinning scoring depth.

🔮 Recommended Play
