The home side is giving 3.5 on Sunday. Is that too many points?

Analyst
It is close to a fair number. Here is what I am working from.
Home -3.5 -110 O 47.5
Last four games. Example figures, not real data. Team Points per game Yards per play Home side 24.5 5.6 Away side 21.0 5.1 A 3.5-point gap in scoring matches the spread, so I would not lay the points at this price.
The analyst shows its working
Ask about a matchup, a spread or a total. The analyst is given this week's and last week's NFL games with their lines and results, and for teams you name their recent form, injury report, book prices, main player props, forum picks and SuperContest consensus. It can request additional stored NFL statistics and MLB or NHL briefings while answering. Answers list any data lookups used and say when information is missing, stale or unconfirmed, including starting goalies and bullpen readiness.
Picks get graded in public
Picks on NFL games are posted on the board before kickoff and cannot be changed afterwards. Each one is marked win, loss or push from the final score where everyone can see it, misses included. Odds are self-reported.
