Against the Market

Every team against the number: how far it has beaten or missed the closing line, how it did against the line on the morning of the bet window, and whether its games go over or under. Click a team for its game-by-game chart.

Cover margin is a team's final margin plus its spread; positive means it beat the number by that many points. Beat the close by adds that up over the season. For hockey and baseball, wins vs the close is actual wins minus the wins the closing moneyline implied with the bookmaker margin removed, and $100 at the close is the profit from backing the team every game at that price. The close is the consensus line just before the start; the bet-time line is the consensus line on the morning of the bet window (Tuesday for football, game day for most other sports). Every game uses only lines captured before it began. Regular season only. Past results do not guarantee future results.
