Price movement after our picks
For each pick on a recent card, we keep the latest market snapshot taken after publication and before the start. A pick “beat the move” when other books’ fair probability at the same line ended above the published price’s break-even rate. A changed line is counted separately. Refreshes run a few times a day, so this is the latest pregame snapshot we hold, not necessarily the closing line, and one snapshot says little about skill.
| Sport | Picks observed | Beat the move (same line) | Average move | Line moved our way |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MLB | 14 of 14 | 0 of 14 | -1.7 pp | 0 of 1 |
| NHL | 10 of 10 | 5 of 10 | +0.3 pp | 0 of 0 |

Behind the numbers
NFL · Analysis · 2026-10-09
Bears–Packers: Chicago’s scoring contribution tests a steady 45.5 total
The Bears–Packers total is unchanged at 45.5. A dated scoring estimate puts more of the burden on Chicago, but unresolved quarterback availability limits what that comparison can tell us.
NFL · Analysis · 2026-10-09
Eagles–Jaguars: Jurgens trade tests Philadelphia’s scoring floor
Philadelphia’s offensive-line reshuffle raises a scoring question, but the total has stayed steady. A dated scoring estimate offers context—not a validated reason to oppose the market.
