sports betting stats

MARKET VALUE INDEX (MVI) REPORT

Sunday Games + Monday Night Football
Framework: ATS STATS | Raymond REPORT Card
Objective: Read the market, not the scoreboard

By Week 17, the betting market isn’t reacting to football anymore — it’s reacting to narratives, desperation, and playoff math. That’s where MVI does its best work.


🔥 STRONG MARKET OPINIONS (NOT PICKS)

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Indianapolis Colts

  • JAX: A-Grade | BULLISH (28)
  • IND: B-Grade | BEARISH (21)

Jacksonville is one of the cleanest A-type profiles on the board. Strong COW%, reliable vs weaker competition, and still undervalued relative to public perception.

Indianapolis is the opposite: 9–1 vs C teams, but completely unreliable against real competition (0–9 vs A). This is a classic inflated underdog résumé.

Market Truth: This line is about Jacksonville’s consistency — not Indianapolis’ upside.


New England Patriots vs New York Jets

  • NE: A-Grade | NEUTRAL (14)
  • NYJ: C-Grade | BEARISH (7)

This is a spread optics game. New England checks every efficiency box, but the market has already priced in the mismatch.

Jets remain one of the worst vs-A profiles in football (0–9).

Market Truth: Blowout risk exists — but so does overconfidence.


Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cleveland Browns

  • PIT: A-Grade | BULLISH (7)
  • CLE: C-Grade | BEARISH (14)

Pittsburgh isn’t explosive — they’re predictable, and that’s gold in December.
Cleveland? One of the weakest structural profiles on the slate (1–9 vs B teams, 1–8 vs A).

Market Truth: This is discipline vs dysfunction.


Seattle Seahawks vs Carolina Panthers

  • SEA: A-Grade | BULLISH (21)
  • CAR: B-Grade | NEUTRAL (63)

Seattle is quietly one of the best Week-17 market teams:

  • 10–0 vs C teams
  • 7–2 vs B teams

Carolina’s numbers look better than their game film, and the market is starting to over-credit them.

Market Truth: Seattle’s edge is consistency, not hype.


Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Miami Dolphins

  • TB: C-Grade | BEARISH (7)
  • MIA: C-Grade | NEUTRAL (13)

This is a brand-name trap. Tampa’s BEARISH tag reflects volatility, not talent. Miami continues to struggle against structured defenses.

Market Truth: This game screams variance — not confidence.


New Orleans Saints vs Tennessee Titans

  • NO: C-Grade | BULLISH (7)
  • TEN: C-Grade | NEUTRAL (21)

New Orleans is quietly improving in situational spots. Tennessee is 0–10 vs A teams and still priced like a threat.

Market Truth: One team is stabilizing, the other is drifting.


New York Giants vs Las Vegas Raiders

  • NYG: C-Grade | BEARISH (56)
  • LV: C-Grade | BEARISH (52)

This is a dead-zone game. Both teams rank near the bottom in market confidence, execution, and opponent resistance.

Market Truth: If you must bet this, you’re not betting — you’re guessing.


🧠 ELITE MATCHUPS (A vs A)

Philadelphia Eagles vs Buffalo Bills

Two legitimate A-grade teams.
Buffalo carries a BULLISH (14) tag, Philly remains structurally sound.

Market Truth: This is pricing efficiency at work — not value hunting.


Chicago Bears vs San Francisco 49ers

San Francisco’s BULLISH (28) rating reflects market trust.
Chicago’s growth is real — but still situational.

Market Truth: Respect both teams, but understand who sets the market tone.


MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

Los Angeles Rams vs Atlanta Falcons

  • LAR: A-Grade | NEUTRAL (28)
  • ATL: C-Grade | NEUTRAL (35)

The Rams are reliable but fully priced. Atlanta remains one of the most misleading C-grade teams — competitive but inefficient.

Market Truth: This line exists because bettors trust the Rams, not because Atlanta earned respect.


🏁 FINAL WEEK 17 MARKET TAKE

  • A-Grade teams are still outperforming
  • C-Grade teams are leaking value
  • Totals are inflated
  • Brand names are overpriced
  • Discipline beats desperation

No picks needed.
