Average: 0.4; −0.1 vs line
Median: 0; −0.5 vs line
Hit rate: 56%; 5 of 9
Price implies: 80%; at −397
Books’ fair: 75%; margin removed
Our chance: 70%; estimate · fair −232

Research, not a pick. At −371 (the best of 2 sportsbooks) the price is worse than our fair −232, so it isn't worth it.

Our chance is our model's estimate, not a proven edge: props on our numbers have lost money since Oct 7.
