Why the model likes it

The edge exists because the model projects 6.5 goals against a market total of 5.9, while the spread edge is too small to justify a side recommendation. Minnesota being a modest favorite suggests a competitive game rather than a one-sided shutdown spot, and competitive games often keep all scoring paths open late. Vegas is generally dangerous enough offensively to help carry an over, especially if special teams or transition chances appear. With both teams capable of generating quality looks, this total sits a bit light relative to the projection.
