📉 Line Movement
Vegas ML steady from -136 (BetRivers) to -128 (consensus); puck line Vegas -1.5 +180-+190 stable despite spread bets favoring Jets +1.5.
💡 Mathematical Edge (EV)
[+3.5% on Jets +1.5] Sim cover (67%) exceeds implied (70%) post-vig; RLM slight toward home dog with public ML on Vegas.
⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment on Vegas ML aligns with sharp money (62%), but spread shows divergence with bets/money (56%/61%) on Jets +1.5, supported by sim and records (Jets home edge vs. Vegas away GA 2.9). Fade unnecessary as EV favors dog cover over public ML in low-event matchup. Game projects low-scoring (avg total 5.4) based on offensive/defensive avgs (Jets 2.5/2.7, Vegas 2.8/2.9) and recent Jets GA trends.
