The model projects 6.1 goals versus a market total of 5.5, giving this matchup a solid over edge. Detroit and St. Louis both have enough offensive contributors to get this into a 3-3 or 4-2 type range, and a lower total means average finishing can be enough to cash. The edge exists because the market is pricing in a relatively muted scoring environment that the projection does not fully support. Defensive inconsistency and the possibility of special-teams scoring make this number more attackable than a standard 6 or 6.5 total.
