About the percentages & closing lines
Projected Picks ATS is the estimated side share among entrants who choose that game. Game use is how often entrants are expected to choose the matchup at all. An entered pool percentage replaces the estimate.
Sportsbook SIDE % is the site's reported betting split, not your pool's ownership. Its ticket-versus-money basis and sample size are unspecified. A captured close is the last observed pregame quote within five minutes of kickoff; older observations are labeled last pregame.

Exact historical line
How often did this pool line win?
For a 7-point favorite with a 6.5-point pool line, enter −7 and −6.5. A win by exactly 7 covers −6.5 but pushes −7.
Uses the existing 2015–16 through 2024–25 historical closing-line archive, not Sportsbook-only history. The percentage is covers divided by all exact-line games, with pushes shown separately. No nearby lines, smoothing, or prior are included; this is not the model's forecast. Every matchup below also compares its latest Sportsbook line with its pool line.
