Our lean

Spread

DraftKings via ESPN · line at publication, Nov 4, 12:20 AM ET

Break-even at -105: 51.2% · Market, vig removed: Houston -11.5 48.9% · Houston to win 78.2%

Houston allowing 21.0 points per game and holding extra rest suggests it can limit Cincinnati enough to cover the spread at the current price.

The case against

Cincinnati scoring 34.1 points per game creates the possibility that the visitors can keep pace and force the final margin inside the spread line listed by DraftKings for this matchup.

What our lean is, and isn’t

Now: numbers as published on ESPN at the time shown, a snapshot, not a live price. Opened: the first DraftKings line we recorded, Nov 2, 12:20 AM ET. Change: points for spreads and totals, cents for prices (−110 to −120 is −10¢).

No-vig % removes the book's margin from each market's prices, and hold is that margin: arithmetic on these numbers, not a forecast or a betting-split feed.
