Board as of · prices live

The prediction-market read on the Ravens: our 10,000-season simulation projects 9.2 wins in 2026 (9th of 32, Playoff tier; raw model 9.2), beside the live Kalshi win-total line. Full schedule, per-game win probabilities and AFC North standing below.

Model agrees with the market

Divergence is projected wins minus the ladder-implied market line, in wins — MODERATE on the one ladder every season-wins surface grades on (STRONG ≥2.0 · HIGH ≥1.5 · MODERATE ≥1.0); OVER / UNDER fires at ±2.0. Projected wins are the 10,000-season simulation mean; the raw model reads 9.2. No single rung sits near 50¢.

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.

1.84 wins of disagreement
9.20 Our sim
10.33 Kalshi
11.04 Madden 27
7.58.810.111.512.8

Our sim and the Madden simulation land on opposite sides of the 10.33 market line. They disagree with each other, so this is a market to watch rather than one to build a position in.

Madden is far higher on the Ravens than our model is — 1st on talent versus 13th on play-by-play, a 12-place gap. EA sees a roster our model hasn't seen produce yet.

Where the season actually lands

A point estimate cannot tell a trader whether to take a position — 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.

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. 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.

Market edges

The season contract and the single game most likely to move it, graded on the same thresholds every other Gridiron Edge surface uses.

◆ MODERATE confidence 10.33 · Under

Season wins under 10.33

Our 10,000-season simulation projects 9.20 (raw model 9.22), the Madden 27 simulation 11.04, against 10.33 market-implied wins — a -1.13-win gap. MODERATE on the wins ladder (STRONG ≥2.0 · HIGH ≥1.5 · MODERATE ≥1.0); a side is flagged only at the 2.0-win STRONG rung, so the honest read is no position.

2026 schedule & model win probabilities

All 17 regular-season games. Our % is the DAEPA margin (power-rating differential + 2.5-point home-field) run through a Normal model, σ=14.4 — those 17 numbers sum to the raw model's 9.2 wins; the 9.2-win headline above is the 10,000-season simulation, which adds rating uncertainty (and fits its own home-field, 2.0) on top of these same ratings. Madden % is the same question asked of Madden 27 talent composites, a model that shares none of our inputs.

Ravens player props vs the Kalshi line

Our projection against the live Kalshi contract. Every prop is an “X or more” contract that pays $1 if the player gets there, so the price of the side we call, in cents,is the market’s implied probability — the edge is the gap between that and ours, in percentage points. Closest strike to our projection first.

Ravens props: where the market prices are

The market’s prices, not ours: each Kalshi strike beside the sportsbook consensus read at the same line, and where the cheaper price for each side actually is. A gap is a price difference, not a call — the Oracle calls above are the opinion.
