Odds — the price at the moment the AI model answered.
Team Falcons have opened the veto the same way in all ten of their last series, banning Cache first, and that removes one of the few maps where BetBoom Team hold a winning record at 2-1. Falcons themselves most often take Dust2, where the last 90 days read 9-3 for them and 0-2 for their opponents, so the Team Falcons -1.5 map handicap at 2.22 rests on a real skew in the pools. The difference in calibre points the same way: sixth in the Valve ranking with 1843 points against eleventh with 1596, m0NESY on 6.88 and kyousuke on 6.37 against Magnojez 6.36 as BetBoom's best. Over the same 90 days Falcons are 24-16 on maps with a round difference of +59, BetBoom 14-15 and -10, and BetBoom's series have reached a third map in only 4 of 12.
Where we could be wrong
The veto is not known yet, though, and on Ancient Falcons have just 2-4, which is where a 2-0 sweep falls apart. There is also very little history to lean on: only two meetings in two years, and in June it was BetBoom who took the series 2-0.
