Take Action
Use the model outputs to inform your decisions. Each prediction includes the data and reasoning behind it.
Understanding Outputs
Every prediction card is designed to give you complete transparency into why a pick was surfaced and how confident our model is. Here's what each element means:
Prediction & Direction
The specific outcome the model recommends, including the target value and whether to go OVER or UNDER for applicable markets.
Model Probability
Our calculated likelihood of the prediction hitting, derived from historical data, current conditions, and proprietary algorithms.
Confidence Tier
MAX indicates highest conviction picks, STRONG shows solid edges, MEDIUM represents threshold-clearing opportunities. All tiers pass our quality filters.
Lock Time & Freshness
Predictions lock at 10:00 AM ET daily. The timestamp shows when data was last processed to ensure you're acting on current information.
Edge Breakdown
The gap between our model's probability and the market's implied probability—this is where value exists and why the prediction was surfaced.
Key Factors
Contextual variables that influenced the prediction: matchup data, recent performance trends, and any relevant situational factors.
