The Model Cards

Saturday, November 14, 2026

Each box is its own card and its own record. NBA picks are never mixed with another league's, on the card, the ticket, or the ledger.

Posted 11:00 AM ET, updated 12:18 PM ET. Live until each game starts; a leg locks at its own first pitch at the line then on offer and is never edited after.

Each leg is the team most likely to win at the line locked at its game's start; the ticket multiplies those chances, so it is a long shot by design.

Props carry no market price here, so the ticket is shown at fair odds: the payout that breaks even if the model's probabilities are right. Legs taken at -120 or better beat fair.

The card posts each morning and stays live until each game starts: a leg locks at its own first pitch and is never edited after, and every change before that is listed above. Grading lands here and on The Record. Research starting point, not betting advice.
