Week 15 breakdown

The week, game by game. Everything here is open to all: the spots, the line moves, where the markets split, the suggested slider. Sign up for The System's number on every game, the reasoning behind our lock and bold call, and the weekly note.

Our picks

Picks freeze before the week's first kickoff, once at least half the games have a market line.

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.
