THE LOCKS

The day's top-tier plays (locks), ranked best to worst. Moneylines must clear a positive-EV test against the offered price. First-inning (NRFI/YRFI) plays qualify on the model's own gate instead: a high model probability (see the Track Record page for graded results).

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PICKS

This week's college football spread picks, next kickoffs first. Every cover % is the one our testing supports, and they all sit near 50%: our spread ratings have not beaten the closing line yet, so treat these as coin-flip leans, not value bets. Over/under picks are paused after an 18-31 first weekend; the posted total is shown instead.

NFL TOP PICKS

This week's most likely NFL winners, ranked best to worst. Win % comes from the sportsbook line, which already accounts for each team's projected starting quarterback. These are straight-up winner picks, not value bets: on a big favorite, the price already reflects the odds. Every pick is graded in public.

How We / Pick

No touts · No tails · Just the model
01
Pitching & Matchups
MLB: SP xFIP, SIERA, velocity trends weighted by park & lineup wOBA vs. handedness. College football: opponent-adjusted power ratings are computed from final scores, but no college football picks are published.
02
Market Read
Line movement is shown on pick cards as context when a steam move is detected. It does not feed the moneyline probability.
03
Pace & Environment
MLB: weather and park factors feed the first-inning model. College football: no over/under leans are published.
04
Fatigue & Availability
MLB: bullpen fatigue and bullpen quality. College football: teams under 8 rated games are declined outright, and no college football picks are published.
