These markets track rushing performance in an upcoming football game between Denver and San Francisco. Payouts increase progressively with the total rushing yards achieved by specified players, following a cubic scaling formula. Contracts adjust based on actual yardage totals, with defined tiers for different ranges of yards gained.
Contracts pay based on the official rushing yards accumulated by designated players during the game, using a cubic scaling formula to determine payouts. For each player market, Yes contracts pay according to a tiered schedule where each 10-yard increment increases the payout, calculated as floor(10000 x (y / 200)^3) / 10000, with y defined as min(200, max(0, 10 x floor(s / 10))) where s is the official rushing yards. Payouts cap at $1.00 for Yes contracts and are offset accordingly for No contracts, which pay $1.00 minus the Yes payout. Negative rushing totals result in a $0.00 payout for Yes contracts. All markets resolve to Yes upon completion, with Kalshi explicitly stating no official affiliation with the governing league.
Generally, prediction market odds tend to reflect the wisdom of the crowd, often proving more accurate than initial sportsbook lines. Sportsbooks set their odds based on their own models and aim to balance action on both sides, while this market aggregates the beliefs of many individual traders. However, sportsbook odds can sometimes move faster to incorporate breaking news, such as injuries, while this market may take a bit longer to adjust. It’s common to see differences in probabilities, especially early in the trading period, but they often converge as the event nears.
On Kalshi, this market is priced using a continuous double auction. Traders buy and sell contracts representing different rushing yard totals. The price of a contract indicates the probability of the actual total rushing yards falling at or below that level. As more traders buy contracts for a specific yardage, the price increases, reflecting a higher perceived probability. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The market dynamically adjusts as new information becomes available and traders update their beliefs about the likely outcome of the game. This creates a real-time assessment of the potential rushing yardage.
This market resolves around Oct 4, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the official game statistics are verifiable from credible public reporting. The final rushing yard total from the Denver versus San Francisco game, as recorded by the official NFL statistics, will determine whether contracts settle at 100 or 0. The market’s resolution is based on the official data released after the game concludes, ensuring a transparent and verifiable outcome. Traders will then receive payouts based on the final result.
Several factors could significantly influence this market. Any news regarding injuries to key running backs on either the Denver or San Francisco teams would likely cause substantial price movement. Changes in weather forecasts, particularly if heavy rain or snow is predicted, could also impact the rushing game and therefore the market. Unexpected changes in coaching strategies or game plans could also shift trader sentiment. Finally, any late-breaking news about player availability or team dynamics could lead to adjustments in the probabilities reflected in this market.
