      • Arizona leads 7-0 with 13 offensive plays to Detroit's 3 at 1:54 of Q1; the live possession gap supports the home-side half script.
      • First-half margin variance scales with the square root of drives, not by linearly halving full-game variance; fewer early drives make this lead more consequential than a mechanical half-line model.
      • To-date inputs were mixed pregame, but Detroit's +0.114 offensive EPA/play is offset by Arizona's better defensive EPA allowed (+0.085 versus Detroit +0.170).
      • Detroit's stronger to-date offense can rebound after only three plays, and one scoring drive materially changes the first-half winner outlook.

      • First-half spread -3.5 plus second-half spread -2.5 is close to the full-game -5.5 anchor, so this is a projection edge rather than a forced arithmetic mismatch.

      • Love averages 55.75 rushing yards across four 2026 games: 17.4% above the 47.5 line.
      • He exceeded 47.5 yards in 3 of 4 games, including 63 and 90 in his last two.
      • The live depth chart lists Love as Arizona's RB1, and the roster feed marks him Active.
      • Arizona could trail, forcing a pass-heavy script that cuts running-back carries.

      Why it likes it
      • Band: LEAN; PROJECTION edge with INTERNAL COHERENCE to the over and Detroit first-half direction.
      • Both teams have 7 rest days, but Detroit leads baseline offensive EPA by 0.1703 and success rate by 8.14 percentage points.
      • PPD differential is +0.9484 for Detroit; using approximately 2.8 first-half drives per side gives a 2.66-point PPD margin before the modest EPA/script adjustment.
      • The 2-point model edge is thin after accounting for first-half margin variance; this is not a RECOMMENDED position.
