vs market (Earl \u2212 line)
Detroit's rating jumped 2.456 points this week to -0.014, essentially league-average on a neutral field, but that number already eats a 1.7-point dock for losing Brian Branch and Ya-Sin from the secondary, which matters for a defense allowing 29.6 points per game over its last five. The offense is carrying this team at 32.8 points per game, yet a +3.2 point differential against a soft -2.526 schedule tells me the market's -3.53 vs-market gap is too rich. I'm selling Detroit at current prices until the defense gets healthier.
