⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public and money align heavily on Utah ML (65%/67%) but diverge on spread with 57%/59% on Nashville +1.5, signaling potential sharp action on underdog cover amid sim-projected close margin (avg +0.6 Utah). Fade public Over (59%/65%) on total as season metrics (6.2 projected) and flipped NHL logic favor Under despite Utah’s recent 8.1 avg totals. Game outlook leans low-scoring with Nashville’s road suppression (2.9 GF away) clashing Utah’s balanced but not explosive attack.

🔮 Recommended Play

Fade the public on Nashville +1.5 — highest EV from sim convergence and money split disparity.
