Under 43.5
$1.95 Dabble AU
Edge +5.0LEAN

Arizona +4.5 at SportsBet, priced at 1.90, qualifies as PLAY with a 7.1-point model edge. The forecast is Arizona 20.5, Denver 17.9. Arizona's offensive profile is slightly stronger, while Denver's better defence keeps the projected scoring modest. The Cardinals have a useful route around the left edge; Denver's short-right passing matchup offers Bo Nix a more frequently used way to challenge Arizona than its highlighted deep-left route.

The personnel evidence is incomplete at this snapshot. Both official team listings retain their expected starters, Jacoby Brissett and Nix, but the captured injury pages did not yet expose current practice tables. Jeremiyah Love's previous absence does not establish his status for this game. Updated reports could change the practical matchup, and the team-history forecast does not automatically price those developments. No extra injury adjustment is included. Under 43.5 at Dabble AU is a separate LEAN. The Arizona label is a model recommendation, not an executed bet.

2026 season graded betting log through Week 6 · last updated 22 Oct 2026, 09:48 am
Recorded bets only. Published model selections and historical backtests are tracked separately.
Team-history ratings use 10,984 eligible plays from 2026 through Week 6. Prior-season weight and numerical QB overrides are zero. Historical plays by other quarterbacks remain in each team's sample; the projection is not specific to the named starter and does not automatically account for new injuries. Injuries and situational splits provide context without additional numerical adjustments. Home-spread edges require 5 points for PLAY and 10 for STRONG; Over edges require 7 and 12. Away and Under directions remain analysis only. PLAY and STRONG labels are model recommendations, not confirmation that a bet was placed. Tracked Bets includes recorded bets only. Situational charting covers 2026 through Week 6; pressure, coverage and personnel cover 2025 through Week 18.
