Win% is the model's projected chance that the listed favorite wins the game. The second line shows the away and home split.

What is the rating edge?

Each forecast row prints the two ratings the projection used, AWAY and HOME, with the home edge and the matchup layers (player form, team advanced stats, starters, altitude) already inside the two numbers. The rating edge is the favorite's margin between those two printed integers - favorite minus opponent, the exact subtraction a reader can redo from the row - signed and never clamped. The Win% is the forecast probability that follows from that pair; the site's ratings table shows the wider history. Injuries are listed on this page and are not priced into either rating while the injury layer is off.

What do the confidence tiers mean?

70%+ = High-confidence forecast. 60-69% = Moderate-confidence forecast. 50-59% = Slight favorite.

What do top-player lines show?

Season totals for the teams on this board, counted over the season printed beside them - 2026 season, or a two-year label such as 2026-27 for the leagues whose season spans two calendar years. A player a team lists as unavailable is skipped, and the line says how many were.

MechaPicks is the day's one multi-game model forecast: the model's longshot across the board, printed as a single set of legs in the MechaPicks list at the top of this post - the card's original blue list - with both teams' logos beside their names. One line above the list gives the joint model probability: the product of the legs' printed Win% across the games it names. A day with no multi-game model prediction posts no MechaPicks. Model forecast only.

What injury statuses are shown?

Every listing that means the player cannot play - Out, Injured Reserve, Injured List, PUP, LTIR, or Suspension - for the teams on this board, with the time the listing was pulled. Questionable, doubtful, and day-to-day listings are not printed as unavailable.

How does MechaPip use injuries?

Not in the numbers, today: the injury layer is off, so no listing moves a rating or a forecast. The listings are printed for the reader, and a player listed as unavailable is never printed as a team's top producer.

Where do projected scores come from?

The score model projects the final scoreline for a game on the board, and the Projected column carries that scoreline and the pick it implies. The column appears on every board; a game with no projection shows a dash.

What does Agree mean?

Agree counts how many models on the board pick the same team - Elo and the score model where a projection is available - a count of picks, never a confidence claim.

FAQ

What does Win% mean?: Win% is the model's projected chance that the listed favorite wins the game. The second line shows the away and home split.
How does MechaPip pick a favorite?: MechaPip scores every team with Elo ratings built from season history, then layers player form and team advanced stats inside each rating, with starter data and altitude where a sport carries them. The higher projected side is the forecast.
What is the rating edge?: Each forecast row prints the two ratings the projection used, AWAY and HOME, with the home edge and the matchup layers (player form, team advanced stats, starters, altitude) already inside the two numbers. The rating edge is the favorite's margin between those two printed integers - favorite minus opponent, the exact subtraction a reader can redo from the row - signed and never clamped. The Win% is the forecast probability that follows from that pair; the site's ratings table shows the wider history. Injuries are listed on this page and are not priced into either rating while the injury layer is off.
What do the confidence tiers mean?: 70%+ = High-confidence forecast. 60-69% = Moderate-confidence forecast. 50-59% = Slight favorite.
What do top-player lines show?: Season totals for the teams on this board, counted over the season printed beside them - 2026 season, or a two-year label such as 2026-27 for the leagues whose season spans two calendar years. A player a team lists as unavailable is skipped, and the line says how many were.
What is MechaPicks?: MechaPicks is the day's one multi-game model forecast: the model's longshot across the board, printed as a single set of legs in the MechaPicks list at the top of this post - the card's original blue list - with both teams' logos beside their names. One line above the list gives the joint model probability: the product of the legs' printed Win% across the games it names. A day with no multi-game model prediction posts no MechaPicks. Model forecast only.
What injury statuses are shown?: Every listing that means the player cannot play - Out, Injured Reserve, Injured List, PUP, LTIR, or Suspension - for the teams on this board, with the time the listing was pulled. Questionable, doubtful, and day-to-day listings are not printed as unavailable.
How does MechaPip use injuries?: Not in the numbers, today: the injury layer is off, so no listing moves a rating or a forecast. The listings are printed for the reader, and a player listed as unavailable is never printed as a team's top producer.
Where do projected scores come from?: The score model projects the final scoreline for a game on the board, and the Projected column carries that scoreline and the pick it implies. The column appears on every board; a game with no projection shows a dash.
What does Agree mean?: Agree counts how many models on the board pick the same team - Elo and the score model where a projection is available - a count of picks, never a confidence claim.

02 · The Leagues

Seven leagues. One board.

Same engine, rated on each league's own terms: rest, travel, starters, and how much history it has. Every league posts the days it plays — a league is never erased from the board.

NBA

82-game grind. Back-to-backs, altitude, star load. Rest deltas stay in the rating path.

Forecasts → NFL

Short season, ratings move faster. Weather, byes, and QB-out flags move the number more than the record does.

Forecasts → MLB

162 games, starter swings, park factors. Most stable ratings, longest memory.

Forecasts → NHL

Goalie sub-ratings. Travel and B2B matter more than a hot stick.

Forecasts → WNBA

Compact schedule, travel density, rest clustering. Same Elo math, tighter window.

Forecasts → NCAAF

Roster churn every year. Heavy regression, FCS/FBS context, Saturday volume.

Forecasts → NCAAMBB

Hundreds of teams. Roster churn. Conference strength baked into the prior.

Forecasts →

Every league posts the days it plays. No league is ever cut from posting — a quiet league is between games. Nothing in the record is ever erased.

03 · The Models

Two models, one board

Elo prices the win. Scoring projects the scoreline. Every row carries both, and the Agree column counts when they land on the same side.

The Elo model

One rating per team, a sport-tuned home edge, then player form, team advanced stats, injuries, and starters. The rating gap maps to an estimated chance. It fills the Forecast, Win%, and Ratings columns.

The Scoring model

Projects a final score for each side, then names the projected winner and margin. It fills the Projected column: the scoreline and the model’s pick.

Agree

How many of the two models pick the same side: 2/2 when Elo and Scoring agree, 1/2 when they split. A split is shown, never hidden.

Win%

The Elo model’s estimated chance that the listed favorite wins. The split line under it shows the away / home split.

See it graded in the model history →

Ratings & edge

Each row prints a rating pair — Elo with the home edge and matchup context inside. The edge is the favorite’s margin between the printed integers; signed, never clamped. The Win% comes from that pair in a final step.

Confidence tiers

The Elo model’s win-probability bands.

STRONG70%+
MODERATE60–69%
LEAN50–59%

MechaPicks

The MechaPip mark means the row is one leg of the day’s MechaPicks multi-game forecast: the model’s longshot across the board. Rows without the mark are model forecasts only.

06 · FAQ

Reading the numbers

What are the two models?

Elo and Scoring. Elo turns one rating per team and the matchup inputs into an estimated win probability. Scoring projects a final score for each side. Every row shows both calls, and Agree counts when they match.

How does MechaPip pick a favorite?

Both models make a call. Elo picks the side with the higher estimated win probability; Scoring picks the side it projects to win. Forecast is Elo’s pick, Projected is Scoring’s, and Agree counts when they line up.

What powers the ratings?

The Elo model: one rating per team, a sport-tuned home edge, then player form, team advanced stats, injuries, and starters. The Scoring model uses the same team inputs to project a final score.

What does the Projected column show?

The Scoring model’s final score for each side, with its projected winner and margin. The pick mark beside it is the side Scoring projects to win.

Why do all seven leagues keep posting?

The board is the record. Every league posts the days it plays, and no league is ever cut from posting — a quiet league is between games. Ratings are never erased, and no league leaves the board.
