Shouldn't FG line be trending over with TT lines trending over? I don't understand.
I know it looks strange, but that's typical in hockey.
In the StL / Chic game, I show both with a TT Over 2.5 -120, but the FG is 5.5 Under -150.
Couple ways of looking at it. The book doesn't necessarily expect both to exceed 2.5, but one probably will. They just don't know which one in what could be a close game. And again, in a close game, a 2-2 tie is very possible, in which case one team definitely gets to 3 and the other team definitely doesn't.
And another angle, when the TT is 2.5 with Over at -130, an equivalent line would be TT of 3 with the Under at least -120. So both TT at 3 and -120 would mean the FG Total of 5.5 should favor the Under.
Makes sense now, right?
