SetupThe setup

Records: Mammoth 5-2-0, Oilers 5-0-1.

Model vs marketPrice check

The model has the Oilers at 85.0%. Polymarket priced them at 48.5¢ at the mid, with the best ask at 49¢. That's +36.5¢ of edge at the mid and +36.0¢ at the ask, and the ask is the number that matters because it's what you would actually pay.

For the Mammoth it's the mirror image: 15.0% on the model vs 51.5¢ on the market.

The market had roughly $454K of liquidity when we pulled the book (Oct 16, 2026, 06:40 UTC+8). The bar for an NHL lean is 3.0¢ at the ask.

BooksWhat the books say

The DraftKings line was UTAH -115 with the total at 6.5, which de-vigs to 48.9% on the Oilers. Across 24 books the server tracks (3 flagged as sharp), the no-vig number for the Oilers was 49.1%.

That leaves the model 36.1 points above the books on the Oilers. The market and the sportsbooks are telling the same story here; the model is the one going against it.

VerdictLean, pass, or context?

Formal lean on the Oilers. The executable edge (+36.0¢) clears the 3.0¢ bar, which is the whole test. It goes on the record win or lose.

To be clear about what kind of lean this is: the sportsbooks sided with Polymarket, so this is the model against the consensus. Set expectations accordingly.
