NFL Metrics

2026 season

The data, not the pick.

Where every line opened and where it sits now. All 32 teams ranked on offence, defence and pace. Twelve years of line movement, and what a move that size has actually been worth.

Same games. Same sides. Different price. Measured across 2,905 games since 2014.

It is not a system, and we say so on the page. You only know a line moved three points after it has moved. That is a description of how this market prices information, not a strategy.

Our model, and its record

Walk-forward tested against two full seasons of closing lines. You need 52.4% to break even.

It loses, and it is about a point worse than the market every season. That is why the model is free and the data is the product.

The rule

We will never charge for a betting recommendation this model has not earned. It was tested six ways and failed all six. The evidence stays published.
