Totals Split the Difference on a Wild Saturday

The card went 4-3 on totals with no moneylines in play. Angel Martinez put up 42 DK points, Tanner Bibee cost lineups dearly, and the run environments were genuinely hard to read.

Two Totals Stand Out on a Thursday Slate With Nowhere to Hide

The model sees an 8.5 as too fat in Texas and a 7.5 as too thin in Tampa. No moneylines cleared the bar. The card is dark — but the leans are real, the DFS angles are live, and the read is all here.
