How a trend qualifies

An alternate line — the way sportsbooks post them — that the player has cleared in at least 80% of his games across last season and this season. Every hit rate shows its sample, so "19 of 20" never hides behind "95%".

Our Rating (0–100)

Our estimate of the probability the line hits: the hit rate, pulled toward the league average when the sample is small, then adjusted for the opponent's defense, the Vegas total and home/away. Full methodology

Graded in public

Every trend we show is graded after the game — hits and misses — using only what was known before kickoff. Build a slip from any trend and send it to Playbook for live odds.

What is a prop hit rate?

The share of games a player has cleared a line. We use alternate lines the way sportsbooks post them, keep the ones cleared in at least 80% of games across last season and this season, and show the sample beside every number.

What does Our Rating mean?

Our estimate of the probability the line hits, from 0 to 100: the hit rate, pulled toward the league average when the sample is small, then adjusted for the opponent's defense, the Vegas total and more. The NFL and NBA methodology pages show the details.

What does defense vs position mean?

How much of a stat each defense gives up to a position, ranked across the league. Our free tables cover the NFL and the NBA; #1 is the toughest matchup.

How often is the data updated?

Several times a day. Injuries, rosters, sportsbook prices and game lines refresh automatically, and anyone ruled out comes off the board.
