Ranking formula: EV per $1 = p(win) * net-odds - (1 - p(win)), where p(win) is my probability model using game script + player usage evidence.
| Rank | Bet | Odds | Break-Even | Model p(win) | Edge | EV / $1 | $10 Profit If Wins |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Drake Maye most rushing yards in game | +700 | 12.50% | 16.04% | +3.54% | +$0.283 | $70 |
| 2 | Rhamondre Stevenson first touchdown scorer | +750 | 11.76% | 12.20% | +0.44% | +$0.037 | $75 |
| 3 | Hunter Henry first touchdown scorer | +1500 | 6.25% | 5.80% | -0.45% | -$0.072 | $150 |

Interpretation: among true longshot-style tickets, Maye +700 was the only one with a material modeled positive edge after break-even math.
Why Maye +700 Is the Best Pot-Odds Play
Evidence Stack
| Signal | Direction |
|---|---|
| Patriots enter as +4.5 underdogs | More dropbacks, more scramble opportunities for Maye |
| Maye rushing in playoffs: 66 / 10 / 65 | Ceiling game profile already appeared twice in 3 games |
| Maye runs more in losses (34.6) than wins (24.8) | Game script alignment with underdog status |
| Walker season rushing avg 60.4; Pats run D has recent strong suppression signals | Raises chance Maye can out-rush both RB1s in one game |
Price Sensitivity (same model p = 16.04%)
| Price | Break-Even | Edge | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| +700 | 12.50% | +3.54% | Strong buy |
| +650 | 13.33% | +2.71% | Playable |
| +600 | 14.29% | +1.75% | Thin value |
| +550 | 15.38% | +0.66% | Borderline |
| +500 | 16.67% | -0.63% | Pass |
If your local line is +550 or worse, edge gets very thin and can disappear fast.
$ Stake Calculator for the Exact Recommended Bet
EV uses model p(win)=16.04% and odds +700. This is not a guarantee for one ticket; it is a long-run expectation metric.
Method + Reproducible Math
This report used live FanDuel board extraction plus a simple Monte Carlo script for the Maye rushing market. The model is intentionally transparent and easy to challenge.
implied_prob(+A) = 100 / (A + 100)
implied_prob(-A) = A / (A + 100)
break_even = implied_prob
EV_per_$1 = p(win) * net_odds - (1 - p(win))
# Maye +700:
break_even = 12.50%
model_p = 16.04%
edge = +3.54%
EV_per_$1 = +0.283
// Monte Carlo skeleton used for Maye most-rushing estimate
for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
maye = underdog_script ? Normal(43, 23) : Normal(29, 16);
walker = Normal(57, 24);
stevenson = Normal(49, 22);
if (maye > max(walker, stevenson, darnold, holani, henderson)) wins++;
}
p = wins / N;
Main uncertainty driver is exact usage split (especially Walker/Holani and Pats game script). If those assumptions are off, edge can compress.
