changed
Game Props: game totals breakdown NFL
The Game Props tab now shows each team's game-total profile: points scored, allowed and combined per game, average Hard Rock closing total and how far games landed above or below it, over-under record overall, at home, on the road, as the favorite and as the underdog, and how its games finished against this game's total.
added
Game Props: new Game Props tab NFL
Click a game on Game Props and switch to the new Game Props tab to compare both teams as bets: Hard Rock's spread, total and moneyline for the game, each team's record straight up, against the spread (overall, home, road), as the favorite and as the underdog, over-under record and moneyline units, this season entering the game next to last season. Rows that match each team's spot in the game are highlighted, and the last six results are shown against the closing line.
added
Team Stats: new Props tab NFL
NFL Team Stats now has a Props tab with every team's SU record, ATS record (overall, home, road), record and ATS as the favorite and as the underdog, moneyline units, over/under record and Over/Under hit rates, average spread, ATS margin and average total. Every game is graded against Hard Rock's closing line for that game, from the 2024 season on.
October 15, 2026
added
Prop Finder: filter by game NFL
New Games button: pick one or more of this week's games to show only players from those matchups.
added
Prop Finder: filter by odds NFL
Set a Min and/or Max odds in the Filters panel to keep only props whose Hard Rock price for your side falls in that range (e.g. -150 to +120). A new Odds column shows the price and can be sorted.
October 14, 2026
changed
Picks re-priced right before kickoff NFL
Model picks now take a final look at Hard Rock's line in the last 30 minutes before kickoff and lock at the actual kickoff time.
fixed
WR model closing lines corrected NFL
A handful of WR model results had a closing line from another game; they now use each game's own Hard Rock close.
fixed
Lines always match the game shown NFL
Fixed several places where a player's line from a different game could appear: the player card popup, QB profile line, game pages after a trade, and closing-line grades. Every line now comes from that exact game and is Hard Rock's; other books appear only in comparison tables.
fixed
Closing lines and CLV re-graded NFL
Props-model closing lines and CLV were recalculated from each game's own Hard Rock closing line. Some results previously showed another game's close.
fixed
Receiving Yards board shows every posted line NFL
The Receiving Yards board was missing lines from one of our two odds feeds; all posted Hard Rock lines now appear.
fixed
Prop Finder no longer shows last week's line NFL
Fixed Prop Finder showing a player's previous-game Hard Rock line against this week's opponent when Hard Rock hadn't posted the new game yet (most visible after Thursday night games). Lines now always belong to the game they were posted for.
fixed
Prop Finder no longer shows last week's line NFL
Fixed Prop Finder showing a player's previous-game Hard Rock line against this week's opponent when Hard Rock hadn't posted the new game yet (most visible after Thursday night games). Lines now always belong to the game they were posted for.
added
Prop analysis tabs on player profiles NFL
NFL player profiles now include the prop analysis boards for that player: Rushing Attempts, Rushing Yards, Receptions and Receiving Yards for RBs; Receptions and Receiving Yards for WRs and TEs; Rushing Attempts, Rushing Yards, Pass Completions and Pass Attempts for QBs. Each tab shows the same row as the full board: this week's Hard Rock line and moves, spread and team total, opponent rank vs his position, last-game usage and L3/L5/season hit rates.
fixed
Rushing boards showing no players NFL
Fixed the Rushing Attempts and Rushing Yards boards, which loaded an empty table after the new Opp vs Pos column shipped. All RBs and QBs on the slate show again, with the matchup column filled in.
changed
Prop Finder: select multiple positions NFL
Position buttons are now multi-select. Combine RB, WR and TE for Receiving Yards or Receptions, or QB and RB for Rushing Yards or Rush Attempts. The Prop menu shows the props every selected position shares.
changed
Prop Finder: avg closing-line fallback + Exclude Anytime TD NFL
When Hard Rock has not posted a player line yet, the All Props leaderboard now uses that player's average Hard Rock closing line this season for the prop (tagged avg cl) before falling back to the standard line. New Exclude Anytime TD checkbox in the Filters panel.
October 13, 2026
added
Prop Finder: Close % column NFL
The NFL Prop Finder now shows Close % next to Season %: how often each player beat the actual Hard Rock closing line in each game this season (e.g. 5/5), alongside how he does against today's line. Hover for his average closing line and ROI.
fixed
Prop Finder leaderboard uses Hard Rock lines; matchups look ahead NFL
The NFL Prop Finder All Props leaderboard now grades each player at his own Hard Rock line for this week when posted (tagged HRB, otherwise the standard line). Matchup grades and the Matchups page switch to the next week as soon as the previous week's last game is final.
changed
Prop Finder: cleaner filter layout NFL
The NFL Prop Finder controls are now a single bar (position buttons, prop, direction, line) with everything else in a Filters panel. Active filters show as chips you can remove with one click.
added
Prop Finder: matchup filter NFL
Filter the NFL Prop Finder by this week's Matchups grade (Great, Good, Even, Tough, Bad) — e.g. show only players with a Great or Good matchup. A new Matchup column shows each player's grade and opponent.
changed
Prop Finder: historical view spans 2024 to today NFL
Historical closing lines now pools every game since 2024 and shows how often a player cleared each game's Hard Rock closing line (overall, L5, L10 and per season) next to how often those same games would clear today's Hard Rock line, plus average actual vs average close and ROI.
added
Prop Finder: Historical closing lines NFL
New Historical closing lines checkbox on the NFL Prop Finder grades every past game against that game's own Hard Rock closing line (2024 onward), with average closing line and ROI at the closing price. Works with the All Props leaderboard and the game log.
added
Prop Finder: Hard Rock lines for Passing TDs NFL
Passing TDs on the NFL Prop Finder now supports Book line (Hard Rock) mode — each QB is graded against his own current Hard Rock passing-TD line for his next game, with prices shown.
October 9, 2026
changed
Rush Attempts Best Bets record NFL
Every qualifying Rush Attempts Best Bet is now shown as a card, with the top 3 highlighted. A new Best Bets Record page tracks the graded results of the top 3 and of all qualifiers: win-loss, units, ROI, a week-by-week table and the full pick log, alongside the historical backtest.
added
Rush Attempts Best Bets NFL
The Rush Attempts Model page now highlights the week's three Best Bets: players where the model disagrees with the Hard Rock line by 10+ points and is most confident. Players with uncertain injury news are skipped, picks lock at kickoff, and a live record tracks results next to the historical backtest.
added
Rush Attempts Model NFL
New model projecting rushing attempts for every RB and QB: expected team carries times each player's share (including how his share changes when his team leads or trails), an 80% range, and the probability of clearing the Hard Rock line. Backtested against actual carries every season since 2018, it beats the last-4-game average by 7-13%. A companion backtest page shows how often players go over or under their closing rush-attempts lines since 2023.
added
QB Attempts Sim NFL
New NFL model at /qb-attempts-sim: every game is simulated 20,000 times snap by snap, anchored to the Hard Rock spread and total, to show each starting QB's full range of pass attempts and completions against the Hard Rock line, plus a line-lag watch for props that do not move with the game line. Backtested on three seasons of closing lines; probabilities are shown as information while it builds a live record.
changed
Receptions-G v2: sharper projections, filter by game NFL
Projections now factor in teammates who are out or returning, players back from missed games, and targets per route run, and the model was retrained with an improved ensemble. The table filter now picks a game (matchup cards) instead of a team.
added
Receptions-G: expected receptions for every receiver NFL
New Models page /receptions-g projects how many catches each WR, TE and RB should make in this week's game, with an 80% range, the top drivers (target share, snap share, opponent vs alignment, Vegas total, teammate injuries), and graded results for past weeks. Search any player or browse the full slate.
October 8, 2026
added
Opponent vs position on the rushing boards NFL
The Rushing Yards and Rushing Attempts boards now have the Opp vs Pos column: rushing yards and carries per game the opponent has allowed to the player's position this season, ranked across the league (1st = most allowed). Sortable and filterable from the stat search.
added
Opponent vs position on the receiving boards NFL
The Receptions and Receiving Yards boards have a new Opp vs Pos column: receptions and receiving yards per game the opponent has allowed to the player's position this season, ranked across the league (1st = most allowed). Sort by it, or use the Opp rank filter in the stat search to find the softest matchups.
changed
NFL is live NFL
The NFL dashboard is now marked Live on the home page; NBA stays in beta testing.
October 7, 2026
changed
See how teams call short yardage NFL
Next to a running back's short-yardage and goal-line carries, the rushing boards now show what his team actually called in those spots over the same games: passes, QB runs and RB runs. A back with 1 of 5 short-yardage carries reads very differently when his team threw 12 of 18 times there.
added
Short-yardage, goal-line and game-script usage for running backs NFL
Open a running back's role on the rushing boards to see who gets his team's short-yardage and inside-the-5 carries, and how much of the backfield he keeps when his team is trailing or leading by 8 or more. It's context alongside the workhorse tests, built from the last four games of play-by-play.
changed
Cleaner workhorse breakdown NFL
The workhorse breakdown on the rushing boards drops the 18+ carry game count. The role is about how much of the backfield a back owns; to judge his volume against the bet, use the vs Line column.
changed
Smarter workhorse tag and a vs Line column NFL
The Workhorse tag on the rushing boards now asks whether a back owns his backfield week in and week out (his share of the team's running-back carries overall and game by game, enough snaps, and no healthy backup eating into his work) rather than requiring 18+ carries, which mostly reflected how much his team runs. Every NFL prop board also adds a vs Line column showing how far a player's three-game average sits above or below the current line.
changed
Prop boards fit the screen NFL
The NFL receptions, receiving yards, rushing and QB prop boards now fit the page on laptop and desktop screens without sideways scrolling. Over and under prices share one column, the game total sits under the team total, and three-game averages are condensed.
added
Game script and workhorse backs on the prop boards NFL
Every NFL prop board (receptions, receiving yards, rushing attempts, rushing yards, QB attempts, QB completions) now shows the team's spread, game total and implied team total, so you can see at a glance whether a team projects to be running out the clock or throwing from behind. The rushing boards also tag every running back as a Workhorse, Lead back or Committee back based on his last four games: share of the team's RB carries, snap share, 18+ carry games, and whether a healthy second back is eating into his work.
added
QB Attempts and QB Completions boards NFL
Two new Analysis pages show Hard Rock Bet pass attempts and completions lines for every quarterback on the slate, with line movement, last-game volume and completion rate, three-game averages, and how often each QB has cleared his current line over his last 3, last 5 and all games. The Rushing Attempts board also now switches to the new week as soon as lines post.
added
Rushing Attempts and Rushing Yards boards NFL
New Analysis pages: Hard Rock Bet rushing attempts and rushing yards lines for every RB and QB, with line movement, last-game snaps / carries / yards / YPC / share of team carries, L3 averages and hit rates at the current line, a game filter, stat search, and matchup cards.
October 4, 2026
changed
My Bets: how much each prop still needs NFL
Live player props now show how many more yards, catches or attempts an over still needs to win, or how much room an under has left, right under the current number.
changed
My Bets: faster live updates NFL
Live slips and shared slips now refresh every 15 seconds (was 30), and immediately when you open the page or return to the tab.
changed
My Bets: jersey numbers on player legs NFL
Every player leg now shows the player's jersey number and team, so you know who to watch on the broadcast. The slip builder's player list shows numbers too.
changed
My Bets: busted parlays move to Settled NFL
As soon as any leg of a parlay loses, the slip moves from Live to the Settled tab under Still in play, where its remaining legs keep updating live. Settled legs now also show the final score.
changed
My Bets: edit slips after adding them NFL
Slips can now be edited until they settle. Tap any leg in the slip builder to fix its line, odds or over/under. Once a leg's game has started you can still correct those, but not swap the player or bet. Fixing a leg that already settled sends it back for regrading.
added
My Bets: live bet tracker NFL
Log in and track your NFL bets and parlays in one place. Add player props, spreads, totals and moneylines with lines pre-filled from the sportsbook, then watch every leg update live from the box score with progress bars, pace projections and hit/dead tags. Slips settle automatically when games go final, and any slip can be shared as a read-only live link. Accounts are invite-only for now.
changed
Hit Rate Finder: pick multiple games NFL
The Games filter on the Hit Rate Finder now lets you select several matchups at once. Tap the games you want, press Apply, and the list shows props from just those games.
fixed
Hit Rate Finder loads faster NFL
Fixed a slowdown that added about 5 seconds to every Hit Rate Finder page load. Searches now return in about half a second.
added
Hit Rate Finder: filter by game NFL
A new Games button on the Hit Rate Finder opens this week's slate as scoreboard cards. Pick a matchup to see only props for players in that game, then clear the chip to go back to the full board.
October 3, 2026
added
Matchup popup on Receptions & Receiving Yards NFL
Click a player row on the Receptions or Receiving Yards board to see his matchup for the week: the corners or coverage units he faces, how they rank, projected snaps or routes against each, and the Matchup Advantage rating, the same card as the Matchups page.
changed
Receptions & Receiving Yards: compact Moves column NFL
Moves now shows just the count of line changes. Click it to see the full line path with when each move happened and its price.
changed
Receptions & Receiving Yards: cleaner line movement NFL
Moves now counts only real line changes (a price change on the same number no longer counts), and the line path appears next to the count instead of under the line. The table is more compact and lines up row to row.
added
Receiving Yards board NFL
New Receiving Yards page (Analysis menu): Hard Rock Bet receiving yards lines for every WR, RB and TE on the slate, with line movement, last-game usage including yards, L3 averages, and how often each player has cleared his current line over his last 3, last 5 and all games.
changed
Hit Rate Finder: player profile popup NFL
Clicking a player on the Hit Rate Finder now opens their profile in a popup (starting on Prop Stats) so you never lose your search results.
changed
Hit Rate Finder: filter order NFL
Prop types in the Hit Rate Finder Filters popup are now grouped passing, receiving, rushing, then Anytime TD.
changed
Hit Rate Finder: Filters popup NFL
Prop type and line filters on the Hit Rate Finder moved into a Filters popup, and you can now select several prop types at once.
added
Hit Rate Finder: Prop and Line filters NFL
The Hit Rate Finder can now be narrowed to a single prop type and to an exact current line (for example, every Receptions 4.5 line on the board).
added
Hit Rate Finder: Edge column NFL
New sortable Edge column on the Hit Rate Finder shows how far a player's season average sits above or below today's line, signed so a positive number favors the side you searched (Over or Under).
added
Hit Rate Finder: Only Anytime TD option NFL
New Only Anytime TD props checkbox on the Hit Rate Finder narrows the results to anytime touchdown props.
changed
Hit Rate Finder: Exclude Anytime TD option NFL
Anytime TD props are back on the Hit Rate Finder at their standard 0.5 line, with an Exclude Anytime TD checkbox to hide them.
fixed
Hit Rate Finder uses real sportsbook lines NFL
The Hit Rate Finder now shows each player's current sportsbook line for their next game instead of a generic standard line, and grades hit rates two ways: against that current line (season and last 3) and against the closing line from each past game (season and last 3).
added
Scenario backtest for the game model NFL
Admin can now compare saved parameter presets against each other over past seasons: ratings accuracy, line error versus the market, and pick performance by market, tier and season, side by side with deltas. Runs are kept for later reference.
September 30, 2026
changed
Power ratings recalibrated (game model v1.1) NFL
Team power ratings are now calibrated and validated out of sample: a one-point rating gap now predicts a one-point margin. Efficiency regularisation and the market window were re-tuned against real margins and closing spreads, and the blend weights are fitted weekly by regression with the market component capped so the model can still disagree with it. Ratings sit closer to market consensus; overall accuracy is on par with the previous version. Power Rankings reflect the new scale, and the weekly refinement report includes a calibration scorecard.
September 28, 2026
fixed
Game model history and performance restored NFL
Pick History and Model Performance now show graded results. A grading bug had left every pick since Week 1 ungraded; Weeks 1-3 are now graded, with closing line value.
changed
New team picker on the Players page NFL
The team filter now opens a picker with every team's logo and name, grouped by division, instead of a long list of abbreviations. Also fixed Arizona appearing twice in the team list.
changed
Players page filters update instantly NFL
Changing season, position, team or min games on the Players page now updates the list right away, and search updates as you type. The URL keeps your filters so views can be bookmarked or shared.
added
Daily practice reports on player profiles NFL
Player profiles have a new Practice tab: the official practice report for every week (DNP / Limited / Full for each practice day), the injury, the game designation and whether he played. A badge next to the player name shows his current practice status while he is on this week's report. Day-by-day history starts with Week 4; earlier weeks show the final weekly report.
added
Player News tab NFL
Player profiles now have a News tab: the latest injury, practice-status, game-recap and depth-chart updates plus ESPN articles mentioning the player, refreshed every 15 minutes while you browse. We keep every update we see, so each player's news history grows over the season.
September 27, 2026
added
Tackles model: player profiles and pick breakdowns NFL
On the Defensive Tackles board, click a player name for his profile: last 10 games against the closing line, hit rates at today's line, snap share and where he lines up, the matchup, and how accurate the model has been on him. Click a pick card for why the model likes it: projection vs line, model vs book probability, the full range of expected outcomes, and the five factors that moved the projection most, in plain English.
fixed
Tackles picks appear as soon as lines post NFL
The Defensive Tackles model now re-prices a game as soon as the sportsbook posts or moves its tackles lines, instead of waiting for the next morning run. Sunday picks now show up on the board Saturday as the lines go up.
changed
Interceptions board: clean-game columns relabelled NFL
Clean L5 and Clean Szn count games with zero interceptions (e.g. 0 of 2) and show the interceptions thrown underneath.
added
Interceptions board NFL
New page for QB interceptions props: Hard Rock line and prices, market under %, QB INT% and turnover-worthy-play rate, zero-INT games, opposing defense INT rate and drought, spread and total. Sort any column, filter by game, and highlight favorites facing low-interception defenses.
added
Receptions stat search + sortable last-game columns NFL
Filter the Receptions board by line and by last game snap %, routes, targets or receptions (min / max). Last game is split into four columns you can sort on.
changed
Scoreboard-style game picker on Matchups and Receptions NFL
Filters now opens the week as scoreboard cards with kickoff, spread and total, records and live/final scores. Click a game to filter the board; clear it with the x on the chip.
September 26, 2026
added
Game filter on Matchups and Receptions NFL
Both boards gained a game menu (kickoff order) to narrow the view to a single matchup. The selection is kept in the URL and, on Matchups, follows you across the QB / RB / WR / TE tabs.
fixed
Receptions board shows the full slate again NFL
A line-folding bug labelled most Hard Rock main receptions lines as alternates once the alternate ladder was posted, shrinking the Receptions board and the Floor Finder scan to a handful of players. Main and alternate lines are now kept separately and Week 3 is fully populated.
fixed
Floor Finder board alignment NFL
Player badges no longer spill into the Game column on the Floor Finder candidates board, and the Last game and Status columns wrap so the full board fits on screen.
changed
Receptions board: full line-movement history NFL
Each player now carries every Hard Rock Bet quote captured since the line posted. The Line column shows the full path of line changes for the week, and a new Moves column counts every line or price change and expands into a timestamped timeline.
added
Receptions board (Analysis → Receptions) NFL
Scan the Hard Rock Bet receptions market for the current slate in one table: line, over and under prices, last-game usage (snap share, routes, targets, catches), three-game averages, and L3 / L5 / season hit rates at the current line. Filter WR, RB or TE and sort by any column.
added
Floor Finder (shadow mode) NFL
New Models page that scans floor-line receptions props (over 0.5) for players whose recent usage - snaps, routes run, targets - outgrew the role the book priced. Candidates are recorded and graded with closing-line value; the player card shows last game / L3 / L5 usage, every book's price and Pinnacle's implied floor. Probabilities stay hidden until the weekly backtest proves an edge; the first run did not, so the page launches paused while the shadow record builds.
September 25, 2026
fixed
Tackles model: duplicate picks removed NFL
Picks on the Defensive Tackles board were sometimes listed twice (once locked live, once as an as-of backfill pick) and counted twice in the weekly record. The backfill runner now skips games the live pipeline already locked, and the duplicate rows were voided so Weeks 2 and 3 show one pick per player.
September 24, 2026
changed
Tackles model board now ordered by kickoff, not edge NFL
Picks on the Defensive Tackles model page are listed by kickoff time, game and player. They were previously ranked by model edge within each game, which the 2023-25 backtest shows is a poor guide: the largest edges were the losing buckets. Nothing about which picks appear has changed, only the order.
September 22, 2026
changed
Defensive Tackles results: separate Line column NFL
The recent-results table on the tackles model page now shows the sportsbook line in its own column next to the pick, projection and actual.
changed
Defensive Tackles model: opponent tendencies, personnel and PFF alignment NFL
The tackles model now accounts for where an opponent throws the ball (depth of target, middle-of-field and tight-end share, early-down pass rate), its neutral-script pace, how many receivers, tight ends and backs it puts on the field, and the quarterback's time to throw. Each defender also carries PFF alignment (box, slot, corner, deep, line, off-ball), stop rate, missed-tackle rate and tackling grades. The retrained model improved accuracy and calibration on the same holdout and is now live; the help modal describes the new inputs.
September 21, 2026
added
Player Props: prop card popup NFL
Click any player on the Player Props board to open a card: our projection versus the line, how the model has done on that player, the matchup against the opposing defense, a hit-rate chart with a line you can move (last 5, last 10, season, head-to-head), and every book's line and price. Result cells now show the actual number with a check or cross.
added
Player Props: model accuracy per player and past weeks NFL
Every row on the Player Props board now shows how the model has done on that player this season (hit rate and count, this market and all markets), and once a game is graded the row shows what the player actually did with a hit or miss mark. A week picker in the header opens any earlier board.
changed
Props model: PFF data wired into the feature set NFL
Receiving grades, yards per route run, alignment splits, run-blocking grades and opponent man/zone coverage from PFF now feed the player-props feature set (2022 onward). A column-name mismatch and four unmapped team codes had left those inputs empty. Projections pick the new inputs up once the next weekly retrain is activated.
fixed
Player Props board back online NFL
The props model had stopped capturing Hard Rock lines because its monthly credit guard was counting requests to free data sources as Odds API spend. The guard now uses the usage figure the Odds API reports directly, budget skips are surfaced on the health dashboard, and an overflow that could reject an entire prediction batch is fixed. Week 2 Monday night projections are priced; the week 3 board fills in Wednesday as usual.
September 19, 2026
added
Matchups board NFL
New Matchups page under Analysis: every QB, RB, WR and TE with a game this week, ranked against the defensive units (and for receivers, the actual cornerbacks) they face. Click a card for the full breakdown, sort by matchup score, filter by team or search by name. Rebuilt every morning as new grades come in.
added
PFF Developer API ingest NFL
PFF player grades and team-game grades now sync automatically from the PFF Developer API into the NFL model data store (2016 to current, refreshed daily), replacing the weekly manual CSV upload. Model-internal data only; nothing PFF-sourced is shown publicly.
September 18, 2026
changed
NFL site redesign: clean light theme with live scoreboard strip NFL
nfl.gamedayanalytics.net has a new look: a cool light-grey page with white panels, a dark navigation bar with a context breadcrumb, a blue accent, and a single clean typeface throughout. Every public and admin page was restyled to the new palette. A scoreboard ribbon now runs across the top of every page showing the current week's games with kickoff times (CT), market spread and total, season records, live scores while games are in progress, finals afterward, and a pick-count pill for games the game model has plays on. Each cell deep-links into Game Props for that matchup.
changed
NFL dashboard: tool directory NFL
The NFL home page now lists every tool on the site (game picks, player-prop models, Prop Finder, Hit Rate Finder, Game Props, Player Analysis, Players, Team Stats) as quick-link cards above the data-coverage table.
September 17, 2026
added
Prop Finder: grade players at their own Hard Rock line NFL
New Line source control on the NFL Prop Finder. Book line (Hard Rock), the default for the current season on passing yards/attempts/completions, rushing yards/attempts and receiving yards/receptions, evaluates each player against the line the book is actually posting for his next game and shows it in a sortable Line (HRB) column with prices. Has line today now hides players without a posted line. Custom line keeps the classic one-line search for past seasons, the leaderboard and props with no market.
added
Prop Finder: Prop Insight popup NFL
Click any Prop Finder row (or its new Insight button) for the full picture behind an over/under: current lines at every book with the best price and no-vig fair probability, a projection and hit rates at the exact line (L5, L10, season, prior season, vs. opponent, home/away — every rate shows its sample size), a last-10 game chart with the line drawn, and a checklist of the factors pushing over or under. Probabilities and leans are shown only for markets the weekly backtest has validated against the closing market; otherwise the popup says so instead of guessing. Partial games (under 50% snaps) are excluded by default with a toggle.
September 15, 2026
fixed
Defensive Tackles model: Week 2 projections restored NFL
Players who changed teams in the offseason were being projected for two games in the same week, which the model's leakage guard refused. Each player is now projected once, for their current team. Week 2 projections are live.
fixed
Defensive Tackles model: rookies and first-time starters NFL
Players with no prior NFL game were being projected as backups regardless of their depth-chart role, which produced confident unders on rookie starters (Jacob Rodriguez: 2.2 projected, 14 actual). The model now uses years of experience, draft position and the published depth chart as priors, and never issues a pick on a defender without real snaps on record. Retrained version activated with better accuracy on held-out weeks.
added
Defensive Tackles model NFL
A new NFL model for the player tackles + assists market. It projects each defender's combined tackles from snap share, tackles per snap, opponent pace and run/pass tendencies, injuries to teammates and game script, turns that into a calibrated over/under probability, and tracks per-player reliability so picks only surface where the model has shown skill. Public picks at /models/tackles once the validation gates clear.
September 14, 2026
added
Player Props model: QB, RB, WR and TE projections NFL
A new props board at /props projects every eligible player across pass, rush and receiving yardage and counting markets, prices each projection against Hard Rock Bet's most balanced line, and publishes a controlled set of official picks with a fully transparent record, ROI and closing-line value. Picks run in shadow mode for the first weeks while the record accumulates.
added
Props performance and methodology pages NFL
Full transparent performance page (record by week, market, position and edge bucket, calibration, CLV distribution, including losing stretches) and a methodology page explaining lines, no-vig pricing, edges, confidence badges and CLV.
changed
Kickoff weather and richer play-by-play in NFL data NFL
Kickoff-hour weather including barometric pressure for every game since 2021, Next Gen Stats passing and rushing, and additional play-by-play context now feed the NFL models.
September 12, 2026
added
Hit Rate Finder NFL
New Hit Rate Finder page: set a minimum hit rate, direction, and games threshold to surface every player and prop combination across all positions that clears it — each prop graded at its standard line over the season's completed games. Linked from the Analysis menu.
added
QB Analysis tab on player profiles NFL
QB profile pages gain a QB Analysis tab: pick a season (or all seasons) and an opponent (or all teams) to see hit rate over the QB's current Hard Rock Bet passing-yards line, per-game passing/completion/rushing/TD averages, and a sortable target-distribution table across his pass catchers in those games.
added
Game Props: Rush Attempts market + QB rushing stats NFL
The Game Props page now shows Hard Rock Bet Rush Attempts lines for QBs and RBs alongside Rush Yards, with the same L3/L5/season hit-rate windows and leans. QB stat views (player popup and player profile) now include carries and rushing yards.
September 9, 2026
added
Game Props: player popups and prop history NFL
Click a player's name on Game Props to open their full profile — now with a Prop Stats tab showing every closing line they've faced, what they actually did, and their over/under record by market (L5, L10, and per season). Or click anywhere on a player's row for a quick popup with Season Stats, Game Log, Career, and Prop Stats.
changed
