This market allows participants to speculate on the rushing performance of specific players in an upcoming football game between Baltimore and Atlanta. Payouts increase progressively with higher rushing yardage achieved by the designated player, offering a tiered reward structure based on performance thresholds.
Contracts in this market pay out based on the rushing yards accumulated by designated players in the specified football game, using a cubic scaling formula to determine payouts. For each player market, Yes contracts pay an amount determined by applying the formula floor(10000 x (y / 200)^3) / 10000, where y equals min(200, max(0, 10 x floor(s / 10))) and s represents the official rushing yards recorded. The payout schedule increases with each 10-yard increment, capping at $1.00 for 200 or more yards. No contracts pay $1.00 minus the Yes payout, with Yes payouts limited to a maximum of $1.00. Negative rushing yard totals result in a $0.00 payout for Yes contracts. The market resolves to Yes upon completion of the game, with Kalshi explicitly stating no official affiliation with the governing league.
Typically, prediction market odds reflect the wisdom of the crowd and can differ from traditional sportsbook odds. Sportsbooks set lines based on their own models and often incorporate a profit margin, while this market is driven by traders directly expressing their beliefs about the outcome. If a significant discrepancy exists, it might suggest that the market believes the sportsbook is mispricing the probability of a certain result. However, it’s important to remember that both represent probabilities, and neither is guaranteed to be correct. It's common to see convergence as the event approaches.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through a continuous order book where traders buy and sell contracts representing different rushing yardage totals. The price of each contract reflects the probability of that outcome occurring, as determined by supply and demand. As more traders buy contracts for a particular outcome, the price increases, and vice versa. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. This dynamic pricing mechanism allows the market to quickly incorporate new information and adjust its predictions as the event draws nearer. The current price indicates what traders collectively believe the likelihood is of the total rushing yards falling within that range.
This market resolves around Oct 12, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the final official rushing yardage totals for the Baltimore and Atlanta game are verifiable from credible public reporting. The resolution will be based on the official statistics released by the NFL following the completion of the game. The market will settle to 100 for the contract corresponding to the actual total rushing yards achieved during the game, and 0 for all other contracts. Traders should monitor official sources for the final results to understand the settlement.
Several factors could influence the price of this market before resolution. Any news regarding injuries to key running backs on either team would likely have a significant impact. Changes in weather forecasts, particularly if rain or snow is predicted, could also shift expectations about the running game. Furthermore, late-breaking news about team strategies or coaching decisions could influence trader sentiment. Unexpected shifts in public perception, perhaps driven by expert analysis, could also lead to price movements in this market.
