The read
  1. Atlanta rank 25th against intermediate throws, which make up 33% of Odunze's targets.
  2. Free data doesn't show who covers whom on each snap, so this is the defence's profile, not a confirmed one-on-one.

  2. Work the middle: 16% of his targets go that way and Chicago rank 27th defending throws there.
  3. Free data doesn't show who covers whom on each snap, so this is the defence's profile, not a confirmed one-on-one.

"Market over" is the bookmaker's price with the margin taken out. Green bars are games that cleared the line. Our own prop model is switched off until it passes a public audit on 2026 data, so we show the market and the history, not a tip.
