Line movement so far
No consensus line has moved 3 points or more.
Where the markets disagree with each other
The books, Kalshi and Polymarket are within 4 points of each other on every game.
Every game, with a suggested slider
The suggestion is the blend, which is also The System. The Game plan turns it into a week: which games to press, which to keep near 50, and how hard to lean given your place on the leaderboard. Adjust for what you know that the models don't.
