Short slate, full transparency
Only three games worth touching today β so instead of our usual full board, you're getting one Sharp play, one Caution play and one Danger flag. This is normally a premium-only breakdown. But with a slate this thin, I figured it's the perfect day to give subscribers a look at exactly how we build out the zones. Premium gets this treatment every single day β 3-game slates and 15-game slates alike. Today's just a preview.
Zone Legend
π’ Sharp Zone β clean, well-supported plays
π‘ Caution Zone β playable, but with a flagged risk factor
π΄ Danger Zone β stay away or a line we think is off

Fishy lines. Tread carefully.
