This total is being priced through the lens of urgency, but must-win games rarely play as loose as the market expects. With both teams balancing aggression and risk, pace control and situational conservatism take center stage, especially early. When playoff pressure tightens decision-making, scoring efficiency often lags behind opportunity, a dynamic public bettors tend to overlook. As money flows in closer to kickoff on narrative alone, the number is vulnerable to correction. Secure the value now before the books adjust.
