SITUATIONAL TRENDS
Historical splits, shown for context only. We tested them: picking the situations that beat break-even in training goes 770–760 (50.3%) out of sample, so they are not a betting signal and are not coloured like one.
Our model takes Miami Dolphins at 67% win probability, a Tier B pick. The margin models project MIA by 6.1. The market has MIA at -1.5.
