Sportsbook captures and source statements in the order they were recorded. Their order is a fact; it is not evidence that either caused the other.

Ranked by how many distinct sources hold an active tracked position on each exact prop. Captured statements that take no position (leans, fades and context) are quoted but never counted here. Attention is not a recommendation, and CuratedBets does not advise wagers.

Exact-Line History

History at 8.5

Every window below is computed at this exact line only, graded with the same engine that settles a real prop. Records at nearby lines are not mixed in. A balanced record is reported as neutral, not as a lean.

8.5 is 4.5 below the Last 5 median of 13.

Sample strength reflects the number of graded games only, never how lopsided the record is. Where a line is stated as a distance from a median, that is the difference between two numbers — not a statement that the line is favourable, soft or mispriced. This history spans more than one club; the values are the player’s own and are not all from his current team.

Bands describe the EVIDENCE, not the bet.

Facts shown without a strength band
  • Advanced Performance — No comparison cohort exists for these metrics, so how substantial they are cannot be established from stored data.
  • Rest History — Rest is recorded as exact day counts with no cohort of values for matching-rest games, so there is no magnitude to measure.

Recent Games

Last 5 games

The individual games behind the averages above, most recent first. These are recorded results, not a trend and not a forecast. A blank cell means the statistic was not recorded for that game — it is not a zero.

Regular season only. These are the games this player actually played, so a week he missed is absent rather than recorded as a zero.

Matchup

Matchup context

What this defence has been observed doing, and — when an exact prop is selected — the recorded interaction between these units and defences this player has already faced that are structurally similar to this week’s. These are observed distributions. They are not a claim that either side has the better of it.

Observed over 371 charted plays across 5 charted games · Last 5 charted games · 2025. CuratedBets does not yet have usable charted defensive plays from this season, so this uses the most recent charted games available before kickoff — historical context, not a description of how this defence is playing this season. These are recorded distributions for this defence. They are not a rating, not a comparison against other defences, and they carry no side.

How comparable defences were chosen

  • Man / zone compared as a charted distribution
  • Coverage shell compared as a charted distribution
  • Defensive personnel compared as a charted distribution
  • Defenders in box compared as a charted distribution
  • Pass rushers compared as a charted distribution

A defence qualifies when enough of these families are charted for both teams and the observed distributions are close enough to compare. How close is measured internally and is not published: it describes how alike two defences have looked, and it is never a probability, a price or an expected outcome.

Each line names a missing input, not a judgement. “Nothing on record” is not a finding of full health, an unchanged unit, or an ordinary week.

A distribution whose top category holds the whole sample is one charted style observed, not a tendency. Charting depth varies by game and the play count is stated on every card.

Method

Evidence and method

How the football observations on this page group together, and which families had anything to say.

308 football observations 304 evidence groups 6 of 13 families with anything on record. Evidence groups help avoid counting multiple views of the same underlying information as separate signals.

Evidence groups help avoid counting multiple views of the same underlying information as separate signals. The largest group holds 3 readings of the same underlying evidence.

A group is a statement about how observations relate to one another. It is not a strength, a rating or a confidence, and a large number of groups is not a claim that the evidence is strong.

Every absence names a missing input rather than a judgement. Nothing on record is not a finding of zero. “Not displayable” means the observation exists and this page has no reader-facing wording for it yet; it is counted here rather than printed in the form the engine stored it.
