How TapeDog works

Full method
1Every favorite gets a TAPE score

From 0 to 99. The higher it is, the shakier the favorite looks this week.

2We show our work

Each game lists the reasons in plain English, next to what the sportsbooks and Kalshi think.

3Scores of 50+ get flagged

Those are FADE games: favorites with the most ways to slip. Then we grade every call after the final.

What adds points: a big game next week, a letdown after a big win, road trips, short rest and a line moving toward the underdog.

Our track record

27 graded games this season. That's a small sample, so treat it as early evidence. Every pick is now also saved before kickoff and graded after, so the live record can't be edited.

Questions

Is this betting advice?

No. TapeDog is for entertainment and information. We don't take bets, link to sportsbooks or sell picks.

How often does it update?

Lines and scores refresh every few minutes, and live games every few seconds.

Does a FADE mean the favorite will lose?

No. Most favorites still win. A FADE means the favorite is more likely than usual to slip.
