The Redcliffe Riddle

The Dolphins’ short $1.34 price dramatically undervalues Canberra’s chances in this coin-flip contest.

Raiders at $3.20 represent extraordinary value given our models see this going to the wire.

A 9.5-point handicap looks absurd when we’re projecting identical scores after regulation time.
