Today’s Rundown
What’s Happening: Round 1 of the expanded College Football Playoff continues at noon ET in College Station, with Miami (10-2) visiting Texas A&M (11-1). Miami surged into the bracket on a four-game heater behind an elite defensive front and QB Carson Beck’s late-season accuracy spike. Texas A&M looked like a top-four lock for most of the year before stumbling against Texas, but Mike Elko’s defense remains one of the most disruptive units in the country (41 sacks). Both teams grade as top-10 in EPA/play margin, setting up a razor-close statistical matchup with dueling pass rushes, veteran QBs, and elite WR playmakers on both sidelines.
Market Pricing
Miami (FL): 43¢ (▲3)
Texas A&M: 57¢ (▼3)
Volume: $4,146,958 traded
Kickoff: 12:00 pm ET
Scenarios:
If Miami’s pass rush wins early downs, Reed is forced into long 3rd-and-6+ where he’s been sub-50% all season. That tilts turnover chances toward the Hurricanes and creates short fields for Beck.
If Malachi Toney breaks a couple of explosives, Miami’s offense becomes far less methodical and forces A&M’s secondary—shaky in tackling and red-zone stops—to defend from behind, which has been its worst game script.
Trading Takeaway:
This is a near-statistical push, but Miami’s red-zone edge (15th vs A&M’s 131st in RZ defense) and superior turnover margin profile tighten the gap more than the posted pricing implies. A&M still owns home-field and depth advantages, but the board is shading slightly too far toward the Aggies at 57¢.
Lean: Long Miami at 43¢

What’s Happening: Green Bay and Chicago meet under the lights at Soldier Field with the NFC North on the line. It’s the second meeting in 13 days, but this one flips home field and flips the injury script: the Packers limp in after losing Micah Parsons for the season and listing Josh Jacobs, Christian Watson, Zach Tom, and multiple starters as DNP/limited all week.
Chicago’s receivers Rome Odunze and Luther Burden are out, shifting Caleb Williams into a tight-end-centric passing plan behind a run game that’s averaged 171+ rushing yards per game since Week 6.
Both defenses are trending in opposite directions — Green Bay’s top-10 unit is suddenly compromised, while Chicago just smothered Cleveland and remains the league’s No. 1 takeaway machine (30). Weather: cold, windy, December Chicago — the script favors ball security and trench play.
Market Pricing
Green Bay: 48¢ (▲2)
Chicago: 52¢ (▼2)
Volume: $1.48M+ traded
Kickoff: 8:20 p.m. ET
Scenarios:
If Chicago controls the ground game early, leaning on Swift/Monangai and TE-heavy looks, Williams avoids third-and-long, keeps turnover risk low, and Chicago’s offense maintains the “efficient, methodical” profile it showed against Cleveland. That script pushes Bears Yes firmly into the mid-50s.
If Jordan Love finds explosives again, especially off play-action to Doubs/Watson (if active), Green Bay can recreate the Week 14 blueprint — four TD drives on eight possessions — and flip the market back to Packers favored. Chicago’s secondary has been elite, but it cracked in the first meeting.
If turnovers swing early, Chicago is nearly unbeatable when generating multiple takeaways (9-0). Conversely, Green Bay is 7-0 with zero giveaways. This matchup may hinge on one early misfire.
Trading Takeaway:
Chicago owns the structural edges tonight: healthier trenches, top turnover differential, a diminished opposing pass rush without Parsons, and home-field wind that tilts toward the Bears’ run-heavy identity.
Play: Long Chicago Yes at 52¢.
What’s Happening: Notre Dame star RB Jeremiyah Love has officially declared for the 2026 NFL Draft, and the league-wide conversation has shifted from “Is he a first-rounder?” to “How early could he realistically go?” Love just closed a monster junior season — 1,372 yards, 18 TDs, Doak Walker winner, Heisman finalist — and enters the cycle as one of the draft’s premier offensive weapons. Sports Illustrated ranks him No. 2 overall on its Top-100 board, and multiple evaluators describe him as the class’s best offensive skill player.
But the counterweight is real: NFL teams remain skittish about using top-10 capital on running backs. The 2026 draft is QB-heavy at the top, OT/EDGE rich, and several front offices drafting early have glaring non-RB needs. Still, early mocks consistently place Love inside the top 12–15, and several analysts say a top-10 outcome is fully in play.
Market Pricing
Yes: 60¢
No: 40¢
Volume: ~$2,000
Scenarios:
If QB demand surges late — as it often does — teams picking inside the top 10 may trade up for passers, pushing non-QB skill players downward. In that case, Love likely slips to the 10–15 corridor.
If a team inside the top 10 views Love as a McCaffrey- or Bijan-style multiplier, he becomes a legitimate luxury-pick candidate — especially for Washington or Minnesota, two franchises already floated as strong schematic fits.
If Love dominates combine testing (40-time + agility) and interviews he could leapfrog trench prospects in marginal grades, forcing his way into the 6–10 zone despite positional bias.
Trading Takeaway:
Love grades as a top-10 talent across mainstream boards, but positional economics plus QB/OT/EDGE demand create structural headwinds. The Yes side at 60¢ prices in a premium-RB outcome that still relies on a narrow path of team fit + draft-day board behavior.
Lean: Slight value on No at 40¢ — the market is paying too much for upside given historical RB draft behavior and the depth of elite non-RB talent.

Prediction News Network delivers clear context and insight on tradable events.
We’re here to help you cash in on culture - the front page of tradable events, from the latest news to cultural context, and the market signals that tie them together. PNN coverage is informed both by the event itself and the current price, an intersection of culture and the market. For example:
Dancing experts believe Alix Earle is a near equal to Robert Irwin, a near coin flip winner, but markets give her only a 27% chance to win. Alix performs first, look to buy and flip quickly after her individual score as she is unlikely to secure the ultimate victory, but will be competitive the whole night.
Just like how Robinhood Snacks simplified financial news or Morning Brew made daily news digestible, we’re doing the same for prediction markets. PNN provides coverage of real-world events meeting real-time odds: cultural context and market movement in one place.
