Moneyline
The betting market, with the margin removed, gives Florida Panthers a 61.6% chance to beat Detroit Red Wings. AiQ's moneyline pick is the side the consensus favors. The best price, -173 at Caesars, is priced below the fair price of -161 (−2.7% value).
Total
The betting market, with the margin removed, puts the over 5.5 goals at 54.0% and the under at 46.0%. That is near a coin flip, and AiQ's read is the market's own, so AiQ has no edge on the total. AiQ's projected total, 6.2 goals, comes from the same market prices, so it adds nothing to them.
Puck line
The betting market, with the margin removed, gives Detroit Red Wings +1.5 a 61.8% chance to cover and Florida Panthers -1.5 38.2%. AiQ's read matches the market price, so AiQ has no edge on the puck line.
