NHL Ducks @ Canadiens
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
OVER 6.5
Final Score4-3
Result+1u

📊 Recap

Our Back-to-Back Scenario B model executed as projected, with both teams showing the expected fatigue-induced defensive lapses that pushed the total to seven goals. The convergence of Montreal's high-scoring tendencies and Gudas's absence created the offensive environment we anticipated.

NHL Maple Leafs @ Wild
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
Wild -1.5
Final Score4-2
Result-1.5u

📊 Recap

Our analysis correctly identified Minnesota's defensive strengths, but Toronto's offense found enough rhythm despite missing Matthews to secure a 4-2 victory. The fundamental read on goaltending and home advantage was sound, but execution didn't align with our projected edge.

LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
OVER 6.5
Final Score1-3

📊 Recap

Our over 6.5 cashed out at just 4 total goals as both offenses failed to capitalize despite quality opportunities. The process remains sound with strong underlying metrics, but variance worked against us in a defensive battle that contradicted recent trends.

NBA Dallas Mavericks @ Cleveland Cavaliers
LOST ✗Final
Our Pick
UNDER 235.5
Final Score130-120
Result-1u

📊 Recap

Our Under 235.5 projection missed as Dallas-Cleveland combined for 250 points in a 130-120 final. While Cleveland's pace did slow without Allen as expected, Dallas found enough offensive rhythm despite their depleted roster to push this total well over our model's 233.5 projection.

NBA Detroit Pistons @ Toronto Raptors
WON ✓Final
Our Pick
UNDER 223.5
Final Score108-119
Result+1u

📊 Recap

Our UNDER 223.5 cashed comfortably as Detroit's elite defense held serve in the 108-119 result, totaling just 227 points. The moderate pace and defensive pressure we projected materialized exactly as modeled, creating the lower-scoring environment that kept us well beneath the posted number.

Our Pick
Utah Jazz +3.5
Final Score111-116
Result-1.5u

📊 Recap

The Jazz fell short 111-116, failing to cover the +3.5 spread in a game that played out largely as expected with both teams struggling defensively. Our process identified legitimate value in the line, but execution on the court didn't align with the underlying metrics.
