The model

How prices move

Full explainer →

Open

Every team starts the season at a price set by its preseason rating. An average team opens near 100, a contender near 150.

Opening price = preseason rating

Expect

Before kickoff the model sets the bar: how much a team should win or lose by, based on the rating gap and who is at home.

Expected margin = rating gap + home field

Move

After the game, the gap between the bar and the result moves the price. A normal week is about 3%. Losing as the favorite costs extra. We call that MISSED GUIDANCE.
