      • Opponent-defense blend projects Bryant 25.7 and Maine 18.9, or 44.6 total before a conservative low-scoring adjustment.
      • Most likely loss: Maine's home field plus Bryant's defense (0.098 EPA allowed/play) produces a 24-23 type game.

      Why it likes it
      • INTERNAL COHERENCE; VENUE SELF-REFERENCE: ProphetX's moneyline makes Bryant +114 (46.73¢), while its main spread makes Bryant -1.5 -186 (65.03¢).
      • The same venue simultaneously prices Maine as the moneyline favorite at -124 and Bryant as the spread favorite; that direction conflict is the structural error.
      • Bryant's current-season offense is +0.036 EPA/play with 20.5 points per game; Maine is -0.115 EPA/play with 14.5 points per game.
      • Most likely loss: Maine wins outright, making the spread-ladder contradiction a bad or transient quote rather than a real correction signal.
