These contracts evaluate whether a specific player achieves various receiving yard thresholds in an upcoming football game between Baltimore and Buffalo. Each outcome depends on the player's performance across the entire match, including any overtime periods. The contracts include special provisions for player participation and penalties that may affect play counts.
All contracts are tied to James Cook III's receiving yard performance in the Baltimore vs Buffalo Pro Football game scheduled for Nov 1, 2026, with thresholds ranging from 10+ to 50+ yards. Each contract resolves to Yes if Cook meets or exceeds its specified yardage threshold during the full game, including overtime. A key protective clause applies: if Cook participates in at least one play during the first half but none after halftime (including overtime), the contract resolves at the pre-game fair price unless he meets the threshold, in which case it settles based on actual stats. If he plays after halftime, all contracts settle based on actual statistics regardless of first-half involvement. Plays nullified by penalties do not count toward participation, and players who never participate are subject to the fair price non-participation rule. The protected designation applies only to full-game contracts with at-least criteria, and Kalshi disclaims any official affiliation with the governing league.
Generally, prediction market odds often reflect the wisdom of the crowd, potentially offering a different perspective than traditional sportsbook odds. Sportsbooks set lines based on their own models and aim to balance action on both sides, while this market aggregates the beliefs of many individual traders. It's common to see discrepancies, especially before significant events or when new information emerges. However, as the event approaches, the odds on Kalshi and those offered by sportsbooks tend to converge, as both attempt to accurately reflect the probability of each outcome.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through a continuous order book, where traders buy and sell contracts representing their beliefs about the outcome. The price of a contract reflects the probability of that outcome occurring, as perceived by the market participants. Traders set the odds by placing bids and asks, and the market clears at the midpoint of the best available bid and ask. 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 probabilities accordingly, making it a real-time assessment of potential results.
This market resolves around Nov 2, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the official receiving yardage statistics for the game are verifiable from credible public reporting. The final receiving yard totals for each player will be used to determine which contracts settle positively or negatively. The resolution process relies on publicly available data to ensure an objective and transparent outcome. Traders will then receive payouts based on their positions in the market and the final results of the game.
Several factors could significantly impact this market. Injury reports for key wide receivers or tight ends on either team are major catalysts, as they directly affect the potential receiving yardage of other players. Weather conditions, particularly if there's heavy rain or strong winds, could also influence passing game strategies and yardage totals. Unexpected changes in team offensive schemes or quarterback performance could also drive movement. Finally, any news regarding player matchups or defensive strategies could shift trader sentiment and alter the prices in this market.
