- Until each game kicks off, its pick can change if there is news (an injury, for example).
- Scorer: the player on each team most likely to score at least one touchdown (the first one in “Who scores?” on the game page).
- Some scorers are provisional: their team's final injury report isn't out yet.
- Times in Eastern Time.

Week by week
Who scores?
Each game page lists the players on each team most likely to score at least one touchdown, using what's known before kickoff. Here's how it adds up: what it said against what happened.
2026 season: 108 games
| Chance | Players | Predicted | Scored |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 20% | 342 | 16% | 17% |
| 20% to 30% | 424 | 25% | 26% |
| 30% to 40% | 216 | 34% | 38% |
| 40% or more | 98 | 47% | 59% |
78 games were computed afterwards with the data available before kickoff; the rest, before kickoff.
