Cells shade green as the call strengthens and red as it weakens; the outline marks 25 or more points from the published 79%, 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 79% 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 44% and the pre-game read no longer applies.

From 14 up to 3 down at the half, this is still the game we forecast.
