SpreadCONN +12.5 logged live now: CONN +11.5 — the pick stands, the number moved · ours MD -8.7

The line has not moved a point since it opened (CONN +13 → +12.5), so our number decides: MD by 3.3 against CONN +12.5 means CONN covers.

TotalUnder 52.5 logged live now: Over 52.5 — the pick stands, the number moved · ours 58.4

The market's move decides. The total opened 53.5 and is now 52.5, toward the under; that side has covered 55.1% at the opener since 2021. Ours at the pick: 54.4 — the other side, overruled.

The gold price is the best available on that side; a gold marks the side our number implies — a read, not a pick. TT is a team total — that team’s own points, not the game’s; columns are empty where no book hangs one. Send to book opens whichever book you tapped, not the one we would have picked.

How often the side we favoured covered, by how far our number sat from the market’s. Break-even at −110 is 52.4% — no bucket reaches it, and the rate falls as we disagree more. The further we sit from the market, the worse we have done.

Top-rated players from last season, ranked within their position across D1. A grade measures what a player produced, and no 2026 game has been played yet — so this is who produced for these programs in 2025, not a claim about who is on the field this year.

An efficiency adjustment from season-to-date EPA and success rate applies once teams have played enough games; before then it is 0 and the number is the power rating alone.
