The consensus spread

Three independent estimates of the same season on one line: the expected wins implied by the live Kalshi ladder, our 10,000-season simulation, and EA’s Madden 27 simulation. Where they disagree is the whole signal.

3.85 wins of disagreement
7.01 Madden 27
10.58 Our sim
10.86 Kalshi
3.46.18.911.714.5

Both independent models sit on the same side of the market line β€” our sim at 10.58 and the Madden simulation at 7.01 against 10.86 implied wins. That is the cleanest version of this signal.

Our model is far higher on the Jaguars than Madden is β€” 5th on play-by-play versus 26th on talent, a 21-place gap. The production is there; the roster grades don't reflect it.

Where the season actually lands

A point estimate cannot tell a trader whether to take a position β€” the full distribution against the contract line can. Bars are the Madden 27 simulation over 10,000 seasons; the dashed marker is the live contract.

The Ladder β€” Jaguars

All ladders β†’

The season simulation at every Kalshi win-total rung, then the widest player-prop gap on this club this week. The rungs the market has not listed two-sided yet are drawn from the simulation alone.

Fewer than three strikes have both a two-sided Kalshi book and a model number inside our published 30–70% band, so there is no shape call here. The market prices are complete.

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 β€” 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.

Our 10,000-season simulation projects 10.58 (model 10.40), the Madden 27 simulation 7.01, against 10.86 market-implied wins β€” a -0.28-win gap. LOW on the wins ladder (STRONG β‰₯2.0 Β· HIGH β‰₯1.5 Β· MODERATE β‰₯1.0); a side is flagged only at the 2.0-win STRONG rung, so the honest read is no position.

Madden % is the same question asked of Madden 27 talent composites, a model that shares none of our inputs.

What a trader actually pays, not the mid β€” the ask to buy a YES, 100 minus the bid to buy a NO. A disagreement is not a guarantee.

Four books have this at a coin flip β€” 49.9% β€” and our sim has the under near 69%. That is a real gap on a three-cent book, and it is SMALL for a reason a reader should hear: four hundred and fifty contracts is the thinnest book on this page, and the only outside read is the books calling it even. Our sim thinks this game stays on the ground less than the market does; this row is that one opinion, sized like one.

Where to rest it: Small size, resting at 53 (100 minus the 47 bid). Four hundred contracts is the thinnest book on this card and it will not absorb a large order without moving.
