What Clutch couldn't see

  • No line from the market yet, so Clutch's call is Model only — no market to anchor it or to compare against.
  • Early season: each team's rating still leans on last season, adjusted for who arrived and who left (it takes about ten games for this season's results to carry most of the weight).
