We are taking the Titans and getting eleven and a half points in Baltimore. Tennessee can win that game outright — or lose by up to eleven — and the card still cashes. The pick only misses if the Ravens win by twelve or more. Market line: Titans +11½ • model grades it Ravens by 2½ • net edge +9.2 points, the widest disagreement on the Week 4 board.
Atlanta +6 at Green Bay won outright, 35–14. The lead call cashed a week early — Thursday night before the Sunday card, a straight-up road win that covered by twenty-seven. Featured record stands 2–1, and the process doesn't change after any result. The Week 4 board — sixteen graded edges, plays and leans — is on the weekly hub.

The reasoning
Three points of steam is a parade, not a rating.
Baltimore won in Dallas, and the market responded the way it responds to a brand — by raising the tax on the visitor. The line opened at eight and a half and has walked to eleven and a half without a new injury, a new fact, or a new down of football. The projection never bought the move: it grades the Ravens two and a half points better than Tennessee, not nine. The distance between the two opinions is +9.2 points on Tennessee's side of the number — the widest disagreement on the Week 4 board.
Tennessee just lost in New York by five, and every pool player will spend the week deleting the Titans from their keyboards — that is exactly the discount we are shopping for. One ugly afternoon is not a rating; nine points of opinion against a double-digit spread is. When the price moves three points toward a favorite and the projection doesn't move an inch, the quiet money is buying a name and the sheet is selling one. Eleven and a half with the better-graded price is not a gamble; it is an auction we are winning.
The market is pumping Baltimore like the crowd pumps a balloon — and the ratings stand perfectly still. When the price moves and the punchline doesn't, we take the punchline.

Top 2 High-Conviction Contenders
The market crossed the zero on this one — Colts minus one and a half became Washington minus three and a half inside a week. When the number flip-flops that hard, the sheet prices a coin-flip and the ticket pays a field goal.
Minnesota got steamed from seven and a half to ten and a half off one seven-point road win. Double digits in a dome for a team the sheet still grades close is where early-season prices overcorrect.
