@ 3.70Avg odds

6 of 7 models who weighed this market converged on the same longshot pick — at average odds of 3.70. 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.
