A tight matchup can make the extra half-point more important than picking the outright winner.

The angle
In this hypothetical example, an underdog covering +3.5 can lose by a field goal and still cover. That is a different proposition from taking +3.
What could change it
Quarterback availability, weather, and a move below +3.5 would require a fresh assessment. No current injury or market data is connected.
The risk
The favorite could win comfortably. A useful angle is not a guarantee, and the price still matters.
