Why this leans Los Angeles Rams & Under
- Fair line -10.5 vs market -8.5 → +2.0 pts of value; forecast 27–16 covers by +2.5.
- Model implies ~56% ATS cover for LAR at -8.5 (σ≈13.4–13.5).
- Projected total (43) below market (44) → Under lean; TNF + SF injuries support slower scoring.
Notes: ATS% and ML% derived from model forecast with historical residual volatility (~13.4–13.5). Treat total as lower confidence than
