How to read this
Tier A / Tier B picks passed our stress tests (a turnover, a key player loss, a bad fourth quarter). Lean means the model's favorite, but it did not qualify. Spreads, totals and Family Cores are unproven, so treat them as extras.
Anytime scorer numbers are recent scoring form, a ranking of who is hot. They are rough estimates, not true chances, and a scorer who misses counts as a loss in our record.
Golden is the top-ranked pick of the week. Hot is the next one. Family Cores are multi-pick combos: every leg must win.
Live record counts picks exactly as published before kickoff. The backtest is the model replayed on past weeks and is not live results.
No pick is guaranteed. Past results do not predict future results. For entertainment only. Must be 21+. Bet only what you can afford to lose. Problem gambling help: 1-800-GAMBLER.
