Kalshi
This set of markets tracks how many points will be scored in the final quarter of a football game between two teams. Bettors predict whether the combined score will exceed certain thresholds, focusing solely on the last quarter's performance.
All markets resolve based on the total points scored by both the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers during the 4th quarter of their Pro Football game scheduled for September 27, 2026, excluding any overtime periods. Each market has a specific threshold: if the combined points exceed that threshold, the market resolves to Yes; otherwise, it resolves to No. The thresholds range from 3.5 to 24.5 points, allowing bettors to assess various levels of scoring intensity in the final quarter. Only points scored during regulation play in the 4th quarter count, with no consideration for overtime scoring. These markets are independent of any official league affiliations, and all trademarks remain property of their respective owners.
Typically, prediction market odds reflect the wisdom of the crowd, often differing from initial sportsbook lines. Sportsbooks set lines to balance action and incorporate a profit margin, while this market allows traders to express their own probabilities. If a significant number of traders believe a sportsbook’s line is inaccurate, the price on Kalshi will move accordingly. It’s common to see prediction markets outperform traditional sportsbooks in accuracy, especially as the event approaches and more information becomes available, though discrepancies can still occur due to differing incentives and information access.
On Kalshi, this market is priced using a continuous double auction. Traders buy and sell contracts representing their belief about whether the total points scored in the 4th quarter will be over or under the specified threshold. The price of these contracts reflects the probability of that outcome, as determined by supply and demand. 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 emerges, the price will fluctuate, providing a real-time assessment of expectations for the game’s final quarter. The current price indicates the market’s collective forecast.
This market resolves around Sep 27, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. The final score of the 4th quarter between the Bengals and Steelers will be used to determine whether the total points scored exceeded or fell short of the market’s threshold. The resolution will be based on official game statistics, ensuring an objective and transparent outcome. Traders holding contracts on the correct side of the outcome will receive a payout based on the final market price at resolution.
Several factors could influence the price of this market. Late-breaking news regarding key player injuries to either the Bengals or Steelers would likely cause significant movement. Changes in weather conditions, particularly if they are expected to impact the passing or running game, could also shift expectations. In-game developments during the first three quarters, such as a dominant performance by one team or unexpected scoring plays, will undoubtedly impact trading activity and the price on Kalshi. Any significant shifts in public sentiment, as reflected by expert analysis or social media trends, could also play a role.
