Results

Our model against the result · 2026 season · spread

Locked before kickoff 11–16 · 27 games

Projected after the fact: 38–36–6 · 80 games. Kept apart, never added to the figure above.

Locked games are graded against the line at the moment our projection was locked, before kickoff, and never changed. Games projected after the fact come from the same model run on finished games; their market line is not shown. Games with a gap of 2+ points: 4–5 locked, 21–14–3 after the fact. Only 9 games with a gap of 2+ points were locked before kickoff, too few to judge the model by. Right means the side our line favored covered. A loss counts the same as a win. This is a record, not a recommendation.
