Games-weighted scoring sits 19 pts over neutral
53 of 53 officials (100%) trend over the 222.4 combined pts benchmark; weighted over rate is 69.4% across 6,150 games.
Why it matters: This measures historical scoring frequency vs a fixed benchmark, not sportsbook pricing. We only surface league skew when the games-weighted over rate is at least 4 pts from 50%.
