Sorted by edge. Edge = chance the pick covers, treating the final margin as normal around the repro line (sd 13.5 pts), minus the 52.4% needed at −110. Ignores key numbers (3, 7), so edges near those are overstated or understated. Pts = repro line vs market line. Lines are written favorite first (DAL −3.5 = Dallas by 3.5). Hover a column header for its definition.
