Locker RoomUp 1% last 30 daysWhy it likes it
- KC and Seattle average 31.01 and 31.25 seconds per play; their 2.58 and 2.00 points per drive support a live scoring baseline above 20.5.
- Half uncertainty scales with the square root of drives, not linearly with the number of drives; that makes a mechanically halved full-game distribution the wrong shape.
- The full-game 42.5 and paired half lines at 20.5 leave a 1.5-point late-scoring allowance; the first-half projection still clears its own market line.
- Seattle's defense has allowed only −0.17 EPA per play to date, which can suppress KC's efficiency despite the pace signal.

- 2026 points per drive are 2.15 for Kansas City and 1.72 for Seattle; pace is nearly identical at 31.01 versus 31.25 seconds per play.
- Square-root scaling matters: margin standard deviation grows with the square root of drives, not linearly, concentrating a shorter half around near-zero margins.
- The live score is 0-0 at 1:59 of the first quarter, but one explosive play, turnover, or defensive score ends the tie path.

Locker RoomUp 1% last 30 daysWhy it likes it
- the full-game total is 42.5 while 1H and 2H thresholds are both 20.5; the 1.5-point residual belongs in the expected late-game scoring bump.
- 2016, 2025/current full-game total SD is 13.92; square-root drive scaling implies roughly 9.84 half SD, not a linearly halved 6.96.
- Current-season points per drive are 2.58 KC and 2.00 Seattle across 5/6 games, with pace at 31.01/31.25 seconds per play.
- The edge is modest after uncertainty: a 20.5 ticket loses on 20 or fewer second-half points, and late-game variance is wide.
