Where the number can go: the shaded band covers the middle 80% of game paths, the solid line is the expected one, and the flat dashes are the published call.

The scenario grid

Numbers are the percent chance Duke Blue Devils win the game. Find the clock column and the score row; that cell is the model's live read. It starts at kickoff with the published 57%.

Cells shade green as the call strengthens and red as it weakens; the outline marks 25 or more points from the published 57%, where the pre-game read no longer applies.

The 8:00 Q4 column is the model's curve between the validated quarter marks, not a directly measured state.

States that change the read

The 57% assumes the game we forecast. These are the scores where that stops being true.

  • Down 10 at the end of Q1, this call falls to 29% and the pre-game read no longer applies.
  • Up 14 at the end of Q1, this call reaches 87%: closer to settled than to the forecast game.

From 7 up to 3 down at the half, this is still the game we forecast.
