How CIN defend it
Ranked of 32, last 17 games. Green is a weakness to attack.

"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.
The betting view
Posted odds, the same odds with the bookmaker's margin removed, and where the model disagrees.
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.
