CFB · week 1 slate · Sat, Aug 29 to Mon, Sep 7
Week 1. The market's number next to ours, every game.
Every FBS game on the week 1 board with the latest captured line, the book that posted it, and our preseason rating read beside the market. Where books have not posted yet, the slate says lines pending instead of making a number up. Picks drop at kickoff.
What the columns are, stated plainly
The line is the latest capture per game from our odds feed, book named on every row. The rating read is the EL Preseason Rating v1 difference plus 2.5 points of home field (no home field at neutral sites), shown only when both teams carry a rating. It is a preseason rating read, not a pick. Picks post at kickoff once the conviction engine has graded the slate; until then the lean column stays honest and empty.
