Spread Scalp

Putting our money where our mouth is.

Model projections vs. the sharp books and Kalshi, every game day — every play graded and published.

Heads up. Early season notice: the model is in its first weeks and is still calibrating. Projections lean on last season and preseason ratings until enough 2026 games are in, so treat every play as a work in progress. Results are logged and published either way — the track record starts here.

Thu 10/8 5:15 PMTampa Bay Buccaneers @ Dallas Cowboys modelB Tampa Bay Buccaneers +10.5 @53¢ ✓priceA Tampa Bay Buccaneers +6.5 @36¢ ✓24–16 DAL -2.5DAL -8.5-6.0DAL -10.0 → DAL -8.5 with us DAL -9.5 @50¢ · TB +9.5 @51¢57% 24–265048+1.1

Lines name the favorite (e.g. SEA -3.5 means Seattle favored by 3.5). Δ (home) is how many points more the model likes the home side than the market does; negative means it likes the road side more. Line move is our first captured Pinnacle line → the current one, and whether the market has drifted toward the model's side. Kalshi spread shows the closest ladder rung and ask price for each side to cover. Flags are logged plays with the line and price at the time they were flagged: model = our projection disagrees with the market line; price = a Kalshi rung priced better than the market line implies (its rung is deliberately off the line, so only its ask price moves). A = best play, B = lean (measured, not bet). "now" shows the current market line when it has moved since the flag — the edge a follower gets is the difference.
