The Thesis
Why this matchup is live
Three things that should shape whether this game gets your second tab or stays on the monitor list.
No clear Kelly lean is separating the two sides yet.
The available edges are modest, so context matters more than raw signal here.
7 players are on the injury report, with 3 out/doubtful and 0 questionable/probable.
