Trade deadline moves, coaching changes, and unexpected team collapses or surges throughout the season alter perceived championship viability. Head-to-head matchup results between top contenders influence trader conviction. Weather conditions in late January, home-field advantage scenarios, and momentum entering the playoffs all drive repricing. Bye-week positioning and rest advantages for certain teams can also move markets as the championship game approaches.
