The spot: Clear favorite, mild disagreement
Both favor the same team by 60% or more, but they differ by 4 to 10 points. Replays: favorites won about as often as the average of the two forecasts said (no surplus either way). The blend without a bump. Nothing to exploit; take the average.
Kansas City Chiefs over the Jets: Elo 70%, market 76%. Clear favorite, take the average. Mahomes is worth 46 Elo; Smith is worth 22 Elo.
