Why does the model disagree with the sportsbook?

Multi-book consensus across FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, and Pinnacle agrees the line is stale by 1.8pp. The model's reasoning is fully visible in the waterfall above; each adjustment stage is logged so the call can be audited after the game.
What's closing-line value (CLV) and why does it matter?
Closing-line value is how much your entry price beats the market's closing price on the same bet. If you pick a side at FanDuel -130 and the line closes at -150, the line moved 4pp toward your side after you locked in — that's positive CLV. CLV is the leading indicator of long-run profit because it's the metric that survives variance: a sustained positive CLV means you're consistently getting a better price than the consensus market settles on. Lakeshore Edge averages +4.2pt CLV on 145 graded singles, beating the close on 88% of them.
