These markets track the performance of specific players in an upcoming NFL game between Tampa Bay and Dallas. Each market focuses on how many rushing yards a particular player accumulates during the game. Payouts for 'Yes' contracts increase linearly with the player's rushing yards, while 'No' contracts pay the remainder of the contract value.
All three markets operate under identical event-level rules for the Tampa Bay vs Dallas Pro Football game originally scheduled for Oct 8, 2026. Each market is a scalar market centered on the rushing yards of a specific player: Dak Prescott, Javonte Williams, and Bucky Irving. For each market, 'Yes' contracts pay $0.0025 per rushing yard recorded by the respective player, with payouts capped at $1.00 and limited to a maximum of 400 yards. 'No' contracts pay $1.00 minus the 'Yes' payout. Payouts are proportional to the holder's position size, meaning that if a player records 80 rushing yards, 'Yes' contracts pay $0.20 and 'No' contracts pay $0.80; if the player records 200 yards, payouts split evenly at $0.50 each; and if the player records zero yards, 'Yes' pays $0.00 and 'No' pays $1.00. All markets resolve to 'Yes' if the specified conditions are met, with Kalshi explicitly stating it is not affiliated with the NFL.
Typically, prediction market odds reflect the wisdom of the crowd and can differ from those offered by sportsbooks. Sportsbooks set lines to balance action and incorporate a profit margin, while this market relies on traders directly expressing their beliefs about the likelihood of different outcomes. It’s common to see discrepancies, especially as new information emerges or public perception shifts. Often, prediction markets are considered more accurate forecasts of event outcomes than traditional betting markets, as they aggregate a wider range of opinions and incentives.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through a continuous order book where traders buy and sell contracts representing different rushing yardage levels. The price of each contract indicates the probability of that outcome occurring, as perceived by the market participants. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. Traders adjust their bids and asks based on their own analysis and expectations, leading to a dynamic price discovery process. The market depth and trading volume provide insights into the level of confidence surrounding each potential outcome, offering a real-time assessment of the likely rushing yardage totals.
This market resolves around Oct 9, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the official rushing yardage statistics from the Tampa Bay versus Dallas game are verifiable from credible public reporting. The final yardage totals, as reported by the NFL, will determine which contracts settle at 100, and which settle at 0. Traders will be able to view the final results and their corresponding payouts on Kalshi following the conclusion of the game and official data release. The market’s resolution is based on the official statistics, not on any pre-game predictions or estimates.
Several factors could influence the price movement of this market. Injury reports for key running backs on either team would be a significant catalyst, as would any changes to the projected weather conditions for the game. News regarding offensive line changes or defensive strategies could also impact expectations for rushing yardage. Unexpected announcements about player availability, coaching decisions, or even in-game performance during the first half could all lead to shifts in market prices as traders react to new information and adjust their predictions.
