NFL week 1. The slate is set. Our number arrives Sep 10.
The real week 1 schedule, all 16 games, hand captured with the source named below. Line capture and our NFL rating model activate with the NFL layer on Sep 10, and from that day this page carries the market number and our number side by side, the same shape as the CFB slate.
What this page is, stated plainly
A schedule with provenance, nothing more yet. No line below is captured and none is invented; the line and total columns activate when NFL odds capture begins with the NFL layer, Sep 10. Until then the NFL market work lives on the futures board: all 32 win totals and the Super Bowl board, every book side by side.
