@ 4.05Avg odds

8 of 9 models who weighed this market converged on the same longshot pick — at average odds of 4.05. High-odds consensus is rare; when it does cluster, it's a stronger expected-value signal than a banker pick because the implied probability still leaves room above the true probability the models assign.
