Cover Rate by Spread Size

From stored lines

College spreads run from pick'em to −45, and the market is not equally accurate across that range. This is the section baseball cannot have — MLB has only a fixed ±1.5 run line.

By Conference

From final scores

Every game a conference's teams played, counted from that team's side — so a row reads as “how the ACC's games went”, not “games between two ACC teams”. Conferences with fewer than two games are omitted.

Coverage. 359 final(s) stored between 2026-08-01 and 2026-10-10; 359 usable for scoring and form, 354 also carrying a line (98.6%). 354 had a stored spread, 354 a stored total. Scoring, form and result sections are computed from every stored final. ATS and Over/Under rates additionally require a stored line, so they cover the settled subset only — the gap is games missing odds, not missing results.
Neutral league-wide rates settled from final scores against the median posted line across books. Pushes are excluded from percentages. This is how the MARKET performed, not how any model performed.
