The Cold Line
What Edge means in sports betting — explained in plain English.
The difference between The Cold Line and the market (Vegas) line. A positive edge means our model sees value on the favorite; a negative edge means value on the underdog.
How much our prediction disagrees with Vegas. Bigger edge = our model thinks Vegas got it more wrong.
Cold Line: Chiefs -5.5, Market: Chiefs -7. Edge: +1.5 means bet Chiefs (1.5 points of value).
