The Ladder — Buccaneers at Saints

All ladders →

Our margin distribution against every Kalshi spread strike listed for this game. A single line says we lean one way; the ladder says whether that is about the middle of the distribution or its tail.

Gold is our distribution, parchment is the Kalshi contract at each strike; the band between them is green where our probability is higher and purple where it is lower. We publish our number only where we have measured it to be calibrated, between 30% and 70%; rungs outside that range show the market only, and a rung where our number sits more than 30 points from a liquid market is refused outright — a gap that size is a bug until proven otherwise. A contract pays $1 if it settles YES, so a price in cents is an implied probability. Prediction markets carry risk; contracts can settle at $0.

Line held until the starting QB is known

Line held: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints, NFL Week 18 2026. We don't publish a model line, lean or pick until both starting quarterbacks are confirmed, and one isn't yet. Updates after Friday's injury report. Quarterback is the one input big enough to swamp every other term in a game line, so we don't post a number until we know who's throwing.

Model vs market: —

Kalshi opens NFL game markets week by week and has not listed KXNFLGAME-27JAN10TBNO yet, so there is no Kalshi price for this game to quote. When it opens, the model buys the Saints at 48c or below, or the Buccaneers at 42c or below — a 5-point threshold either way. The numbers above fill in on their own.
