vs market (Earl \u2212 line)
Detroit sits at No. 1 with an 11.9-point neutral-field rating, up sharply from an 8.9 prior-season mark, and they're 3-0 against a schedule rated 2.5 points above average. The market is still catching up: at 6.15 points of edge versus the spread, this team is a clear buy, and a rating this high means they should be laying close to double digits against a typical opponent. No key players are unavailable, so the number is clean.
