HOW IT WORKS
Each sport has its own model. It rates every team or fighter from game data, injuries and matchups, then picks a side for every game on the board. The picks we trust most go to the top of each tab. When games finish, each pick is graded and added to the record, win or lose. Preseason picks are shown for fun and are not counted.
Models that are new or still being tested are marked BETA. We never call a pick a lock, because no pick is.
