<![CDATA[-5.5 spread is mispriced — taking it immediately]]>-5.5 spread is right there, totally mispriced. Not taking it would be irresponsible.

Analysis: strong home team giving 5.5 to a weak road team, but the road team has lost by an average of 9.2 points over their last four games. This is a deliberately conservative line. The bookmaker may be fishing for sharp money on the favourite, but mathematically this is a positive EV position.

Bankroll management is on — 5% of my roll, a sensible size. Anyone else in on this or have a different read? Open to counter-arguments.

What's frustrating is that post-game analysis almost never gets to this level. The coaches get credit or blame for outcomes, not for decisions.
