Jessica Gridiron

Background

Gridiron & Wine started with a simple idea: the public pick-selling space is full of "trust me bro" picks, and bettors deserve actual model output, actual reasoning, and an actual receipt for every play.

Jessica built the first version of the NHL model after spending years frustrated with services that posted vague leans, deleted losing weeks, and called positive variance "expertise." The bar at Gridiron & Wine is the opposite: every play is logged, every result is published, and every model is tested before it goes live.

The site now covers the NFL, college football, NBA, NHL, MLB, college basketball and WNBA, with a purpose-built quantitative model for each sport.

How We Approach the Problem

The Gridiron & Wine philosophy comes down to three things: discipline, transparency, and edge math. No daily-quota fills. No "lock of the year" marketing. Just model output where the edge is real, sized using bankroll-based unit math, and tracked publicly whether it wins or loses.

What This Site Is — and Isn't

It is sports analytics plus a daily card of official plays across the NFL, college football, NBA, NHL, MLB and more, with every play graded in public on the Results page.

It isn't financial advice, a guarantee, or a get-rich-quick service. Sports markets are competitive and edges decay. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Members are expected to manage their own bankroll responsibly.

Editorial Standards

Every article and pick published on Gridiron & Wine follows a fixed editorial process. Every betting claim is sourced to a verifiable model output or public dataset. Every track record we cite is the one published on the Results page — not a sanitized version for marketing.

We do not publish content that has been written or co-written by an undisclosed third party. We do not accept paid placements within articles. Affiliate and sportsbook references, where they appear, are clearly labeled.

Jessica's betting analysis has also appeared at Pro Football Network, where she hosts the Moneyline and Wine NFL betting podcast, and at FanDuel Research, and she has contributed to Action Network. See As featured in.

Our Standards & Track Record

Every model deployed on Gridiron & Wine is held to the same standards:

• Honest testing — every model is tested on games it has not seen before it goes live.
• Value-only plays — a play goes out only when our number and the market’s price disagree by enough to matter.
• Unit sizing on every play — every official play is sent with its unit size, so you know exactly what we are risking.
• Closing line value tracking — every pick is logged with the price sent and the closing line.
• Full public transparency — every play is logged. Wins, losses, pushes, voids. No deletions. The complete record is available here.
