How games at these numbers have gone
- The key number. 4.5 sits half a point past 4, one of the margins games actually land on. That hook is most of what you are paying for or getting here.
- Spread 4.5 — the 4-6 point band. In 1,066 games since 1999 the favorite covered 49.3% of the time — a coin flip once the 95% range (46.3–52.3%) is taken into account.
- Total 51.5 — spread in the 3-7 point band. Games with a spread this size went over 49.5% of the time across 3,599 of them.
