The read
  1. Baltimore rank 20th against intermediate throws, which make up 29% of Chase's targets.
  2. Work the right side: 36% of his targets go that way and Baltimore rank 22nd 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.

The read
  1. Cincinnati rank 30th against short throws and 32nd for yards after the catch allowed. Flowers takes 60% of his targets short and is 81st percentile after the catch.
  2. Contested catches aren't his edge this week: he's 84th percentile for separation and 15th for hands, and Daxton Hill, DJ Turner and DJ Ivey all allow fewer yards per target than the average corner (7.4).
  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.

Read this before you bet: picking winners is not beating the price. At posted odds our 2025 flat-bet ROI was −6.9%. Use the model as one view of the game, not a tip.

What the model sees

Split signal: win probability leans CIN (51%) while the points model has BAL by 0.0 — low agreement, treat as a coin flip.
