OKC@MEM's zero gap is excluded; the other four nonselections have smaller gaps. No NFL games today per the checked schedule. NBA spreads/moneylines, props, alternate markets, NHL and college sports were not modeled. No claim of best across unreviewed markets.
Method: E=(season PF+PA)/games per NBA team; total=(Eaway+Ehome)/2, using raw season totals through November 5 and unrounded calculations. This is the NBA benchmark documented November 4 and now on /sports/betting/methodology, not the NFL side formula. All trial probabilities null; discrepancies are points, never EV. Tiny 7–9-game samples; no injury, lineup, opponent, pace, rest, travel or shooting adjustment. No historical profitability or calibration is claimed.

Exact selected lines and both prices verified from official DraftKings Network at 13:02:16 UTC today. These are board snapshots, not guaranteed executable offers; jurisdictions/accounts may differ. Earlier ESPN scheduled starts govern eligibility. Full-game NBA totals include overtime; linked regulator-hosted DraftKings rules are an archival, jurisdiction-specific reference. Exceptional interruptions require fresh applicable-rule review.
Yesterday, November 3: no saved report; coverage gap, not a zero-pick decision. Daily W/L/push/void/pending, units and ROI unavailable; no backfill. Older result settled today: November 2 CHI/SEA Under 46.5 -110 lost, official Bears 34–17 final, 51 points. That slate: 0W/1L/0P/0V/0 pending, −1 unit, −100% ROI.

Day 2 — November 2, 2026. One pregame paper single is published, a four-pick shortfall. Exact model screen: Chicago at Seattle, the sole NFL game dated November 2 on the official DraftKings Network board; both spreads (CHI +3 -102 / SEA -3 -118) and both total sides (46.5, -110 each) were compared using documented NFL scoring averages. Select the under's 2.50-point discrepancy over the spread's 1.07. No moneyline, props, alternate lines or futures were modeled. Other NFL entries on the board dated November 5 or November 8 were excluded from today's slate. The DraftKings NBA and NHL landing pages were checked but their retrieved content exposed no usable exact game-line tables; no individual games in those sports were model-screened. No separately documented non-NFL trial method was applied, and the NFL formula was not transferred to another sport. This is not a claim of the best bet across all sports. Prices are published-board snapshots, not guaranteed live or executable offers, and may differ by jurisdiction/account; recheck your local book and exact market. The official team kickoff is 8:15 p.m. Eastern (board displays 8:20); use the earlier time. Yesterday, November 1: 2 wins, 3 losses, no pushes/voids/unresolved picks; −1.198052 units on five units risked, −23.9610% ROI. The same is the cumulative settled segment record; today's one pick is pending and excluded from ROI stakes. October prelaunch notes remain excluded. All five November 1 original selections and prices have been preserved.
