This market allows participants to speculate on the performance of specific players in an upcoming football game between Chicago and Atlanta. Payouts are determined by the rushing yards achieved by designated players, with increasing rewards for higher yardage totals. The structure incentivizes accurate predictions of player performance in a key matchup.
Contracts in this event pay out based on the rushing yards accumulated by designated players (Bijan Robinson and D'Andre Swift) in the Chicago vs Atlanta Pro Football game scheduled for October 18, 2026. Each Yes contract’s payout scales non-linearly with every 10-yard increment in rushing yards, following a cubic function that caps at $1.00 for 200 or more yards. The payout schedule begins at $0.0000 for 0–9 yards and increases progressively, ensuring higher rewards for superior performance. A No contract pays $1.00 minus the Yes payout, effectively creating a zero-sum dynamic where total returns for both positions sum to $1.00 per contract pair. Negative rushing yard totals result in a $0.00 payout for Yes contracts. The payout formula ensures smooth, incremental increases in value as yardage rises, with a strong emphasis on rewarding breakout performances.

Generally, prediction market odds often reflect the wisdom of the crowd, potentially offering a different perspective than traditional sportsbooks. Sportsbooks set lines based on their own models and risk management, while this market aggregates the beliefs of many individual traders. It’s common to see discrepancies, especially before significant events or breaking news. These differences can sometimes present opportunities for informed traders, as the market adjusts to new information and reflects collective insight. However, it's important to remember that both represent probabilities of an outcome.
On Kalshi, this market is priced using a continuous double auction. Traders buy and sell contracts representing different rushing yard totals. The price of each contract fluctuates based on supply and demand, reflecting traders’ beliefs about the likelihood of that yardage range occurring. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. As more traders participate and new information becomes available, the price adjusts, providing a dynamic assessment of the potential outcome. The market’s price represents the probability-weighted average of all possible rushing yard totals.
This market resolves around Oct 18, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the official rushing yard totals from the Chicago versus Atlanta NFL game are verifiable from credible public reporting. The final result will be based on the official game statistics as recorded by the NFL. The market will settle to 100 for the contract corresponding to the actual total rushing yards achieved in the game, and 0 for all other contracts. Traders holding the winning contract will receive a payout of 100 for every 1 unit purchased.
Several factors could influence this market. Injury reports for key running backs on either the Chicago or Atlanta teams would be significant, as would any changes to the teams’ offensive strategies. Weather conditions on game day, such as rain or snow, could also impact the running game and shift trader sentiment. Unexpected news regarding player suspensions or coaching decisions could also move the market. Finally, any late-breaking analysis from sports analysts or changes in public perception of the teams’ strengths and weaknesses could all contribute to price fluctuations.
