The numbers
| Our pick | Houston Texans |
| Chance they win | 70% |
| Our projected spread (Houston Texans) | -6.7 |
| Projected total | 44.6 |
We’re judged on the chance to win, and we never go above 90%, the highest level our testing covers. The projected spread and total come from the same numbers. A spread reads as it does anywhere else: -6 means we project that side to win by six. These are our numbers, not the market’s. Where we have the market's numbers, they're shown separately and labeled.
Market average

The market’s numbers, not ours: an average across the books our data provider covers, for context beside the projections above. We don’t guarantee its accuracy or timeliness, and nothing here is a price you can transact at.
