Jessica Gridiron
Founder & Lead Analyst · Gridiron & Wine
Jessica Gridiron is the founder and lead analyst at Gridiron & Wine, a quantitative sports betting service that publishes daily picks, graded in public, across the NFL, college football, NBA, NHL, MLB, college basketball and more. Every pick is logged, every result is published, and every model is tested honestly before it goes live. The work focuses on the small, structural inefficiencies that betting markets miss, and on converting those edges into transparently sized plays.
Credentials
- 5+ years building production sports betting models with live, publicly tracked output across the NFL, college football, NBA, NHL, MLB, college basketball and more.
- Honest pre-launch testing on every model — each one is tested on games it has not seen before it goes live.
- Graded in public on the Results page. Every play is timestamped, every result published, every push and loss included.
- Explicit unit sizing on every play. Every play is sent with its unit size.
- Public CLV tracking — closing line value is published on the Results page for every play with a captured closing price, with its coverage and exclusions stated there, so anyone can check whether we beat the close, not just win by variance.
- Common questions about the picks are answered in the public FAQ, and the full record is public; nothing is gated behind “trust me.”
Background
Jessica built the first version of the Gridiron & Wine NHL model after years of frustration with the public pick-selling space — services that posted vague leans, quietly deleted losing weeks, and rebranded positive variance as “expertise.” The bar at Gridiron & Wine is the opposite: every play is logged with the price taken, every result is graded, and the full record is public.
The service has expanded from a single NHL model to a portfolio of purpose-built quantitative models covering the NFL, college football, NBA, NHL, MLB, college basketball and more, with every play graded in public. The shared discipline across every model: honest testing before launch, ongoing performance monitoring, explicit unit sizing, and complete public transparency on wins, losses, and pushes.
