Status

Strong, Play, Lean, Watch and Pass are classification tiers governed by the site's model rules and market-confirmation checks.

Update cadence

Live odds and board calculations may update throughout the day. Weekly matchup pages and the XML sitemap update from the current NFL schedule and odds feeds. For time-sensitive claims, cite the specific matchup page and include its displayed update time.
