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 enriches each matchup with player form, team advanced stats, injuries, and starter data. 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, any live injury adjustment) 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.
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 stat leaders for each side. Totals vary by sport (points, yards, goals, or batting line).
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. The MechaPip mark in the MechaPicks column shows the same leg rows on the board. A day with no multi-game model prediction posts no MechaPicks. Model forecast only.
What injury statuses are shown?
Out listings for teams on today's board. Public ESPN injury listings, refreshed throughout the day.
How does MechaPip use injuries?
Out and Doubtful listings can adjust team Elo ratings before a forecast. The blog table shows Out players only.
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.
For analysis only. Not financial advice.
MechaPip  -  sports forecasts and ratings

Correction — October 27, 2026. This board’s NFL top-player line printed Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles, at 3,645 yards and 33 touchdowns without naming the season those totals came from.

  • Those are 2025 totals. The 2026 sample reads 933 yards and 8 touchdowns across five games.
  • The injury listings show Hurts on injured reserve, so he is not the Eagles’ current strength line.

Top-player totals on the corrected board name the season they come from, printed beside the names, and a player the injury listings name as unable to play is skipped rather than printed as team strength.

The corrected board is at mechapip.com; the next full dispatch publishes at 5:00 AM CT.
