One post every day. Game days walk the slate with the engine's own numbers — yesterday's grades on the public ledger, every matchup, and the angles worth a bettor's attention. Off days go to the mechanics: closing line value, the vig, sizing, variance. Same rules as everything here: real numbers, no locks, losses in the same font as wins.
