Byes and availability

Cam Skattebo is off in Week 8 and Matthew Golden in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.5 points a game is the entire case. The books restate it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the price, and this page will follow the sample rather than the books when it does.
