Picks: one play, the price, the heat — and why

The slate is a heat map of calibrated confidence — glow is earned by the model's gate, not marketing. Each play opens into its attribution: which lenses fired, what the sharp money did, where the key numbers sit.

What

One matchup card per game on the slate, three stacked facts (Grant 2026-09-04): the side the model likes and how far past a coin flip it leans, its total read the same way, and up to 3 player-prop reads ranked by heat — plus the house play, best captured price, published edge and per-lens reads underneath.

Why it is here

The whole slate in one glance, with the NO PLAYs shown so you know we looked.

Example (illustrative rows, not measured)

Play	Game	Side	Total	Top props	Best price	Edge	Lens reads
NE −2.5	SEA @ NE · Thu 8:20 PM ET	0.62 · NE favored ▮▮▮	0.55 · Over favored ▮	Metcalf Rec yds O68.5 · 0.66	−108 DK	+2.1%	Divisional Dog NE ✓ · 360-314 · Rest Edge NE ✓ · 208-206 · +1
OVER 44.5	KC @ LAC · Sun 4:25 PM ET	no side published yet	0.57 · Over favored ▮	(no props block: no prop confidence published yet)	−105 Pinnacle	—	no graded lens reads this game

Honesty

Every number is read from the picks and odds tables; an uncaptured price prints a dash and is never filled with −110; a market with no published pick for a game prints an honest "no side/total published yet" instead of a fabricated 50/50 read; props is [] and the whole props block does not render when the sport has no prop confidence yet — never a resting "no reads" line (Grant: cut empty widgets).

Game spotlight · NFL

? · what this block is

game spotlight

What

Everything about one game: the market by book, the player prop lines grouped per player with the model’s read when it has one, the released house pick, and the open → now movement.

Why it is here

A pick is a claim about a game; the spotlight shows the whole game so the claim can be judged.

Example (illustrative rows, not measured)

Player	Market	Line	Model read
D. Maye	Passing yards	245.5	no model read yet
S. Darnold	Passing TDs	1.5	no model read yet

Honesty

Prop lines are the books’ own captured lines and carry no price; a prop without a model read says so instead of drawing a bar; each section degrades on its own and prints its cure.

ATL @ GB · the why

? · what this block is

play why

What

The house play with its calibrated confidence against the floor, and one row per lens voice: agrees, opposes or no read, with the stored signal strength.

Why it is here

Attribution, not vibes — which lenses fired and how hard is what makes a play defensible.

Example (illustrative rows, not measured)

Lens	Mark	Strength	Take
Sharp money divergence	✓	84%	Line moved NE −1 → −2.5 against 38% of tickets.
Contrarian	—	no read	Nothing to fade.

Honesty

Strengths are stored lens_signals values printed as-is; a lens without a fired signal prints “no read” and no number; a NO PLAY still lists what was weighed.

Where the money is going

? · what this block is

money flow

What

Where the money is going on each game: the side it leans to, tickets versus dollars, the open → now line and a one-word read.

Why it is here

A line that moves against the ticket count is the sharpest public signal there is; the read names it.

Example (illustrative rows, not measured)

Game	Side	Open	Now	Read
SEA @ NE	NE	NE −1	NE −2.5	sharp side · 38% tickets · 61% money
KC @ LAC	KC	KC −3	KC −3	split · 52% tickets · 49% money

Honesty

Percentages are the splits feed rounded to whole numbers; the read is a closed set (public pile-on, sharp side, split, no read) derived only from those splits and the line; an empty slate prints its own empty text.

Steam · live rail

? · what this block is

steam rail

What

Timestamped line moves on the slate, largest first: the game, the market, from → to, the books behind it and the cause when the data names one.

Why it is here

Steam is the market talking; a rail that says who moved and when beats a chart nobody reads.

Example (illustrative rows, not measured)

Time	Game	Move	Books	Cause
3:41 AM ET	SEA @ NE	NE −2 → −2.5	4 books in 90 s	sharp origin
2:58 AM ET	BUF @ MIA	BUF −3 holding at key	6 books	no action

Honesty

Magnitude is the absolute points moved between captures; a cause is a tag from the data or “unknown”, never inferred from prose; moves under the threshold are not shown.

Book screen · best number lit

1 of 1 game where books disagree on the line

? · what this block is

book screen

What

One row per house PLAY, one column per book quoting the home spread; the cell that gives the house side the best number is lit. Closed by default: the summary counts the games where books disagree on the line and glows only then.

Why it is here

The same play at a better number is free money; the screen makes the best book obvious.

Example (illustrative rows, not measured)

Game	Play	DK	FD	MGM	Pinny
SEA @ NE	NE −2.5	−2.5	−2.5	−2 ★	−2.5

Honesty

Captured prices only; a book that did not quote a game leaves its cell empty rather than printing a dash as if it were a number; a total or moneyline play lights no cell.

What

Every house PLAY ranked by the published edge over the opening no-vig fair probability, with the captured price for the play’s side.

Why it is here

Edge is the reason to bet; ranking by it puts the strongest claim first.

Edge is the number the model release published against the opening no-vig fair price — never derived here. Ticket price = the play's price at publish (the best book price at the play's line is on the tonight table); a missing capture reads as its words, never as −110.
