These markets focus on predicting the number of passing touchdowns thrown by specific quarterbacks in an upcoming football game between Washington and San Francisco. Outcomes depend solely on whether each quarterback reaches various thresholds of scoring passes during the contest.
All markets resolve based on whether the named quarterback records the specified number of passing touchdowns or more in the designated game. If a quarterback is active but does not take any snaps, the market settles at the fair market price determined before the game starts. Once a quarterback takes at least one snap — even if that play is nullified by a penalty — the market resolves according to the actual passing touchdowns recorded during the game. These rules apply uniformly across all threshold-based markets for both quarterbacks involved in the matchup.
Typically, prediction market odds reflect the wisdom of the crowd and can differ from traditional sportsbook odds. Sportsbooks set lines based on their own models and risk management, while this market aggregates the beliefs of many individual traders. If a significant discrepancy emerges between the two, arbitrage opportunities may arise, as traders attempt to profit from the difference. It’s common to see prediction markets move faster to incorporate new information than sportsbooks, especially in response to breaking news or shifts in public sentiment regarding the game.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through a continuous order book where traders buy and sell contracts representing different outcomes for the number of passing touchdowns. The price of each contract fluctuates based on supply and demand, reflecting the collective predictions of the traders. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. This means that as more people believe a particular outcome is likely, the price of the corresponding contract will increase, and vice versa. The current price represents the market's assessment of the probability of that outcome occurring.
This market resolves around Oct 20, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. The final number of passing touchdowns scored in the Washington versus San Francisco game will be used to determine which contracts pay out. The resolution will be based on official game statistics, ensuring an objective and transparent process. Traders will be able to see the final result and any payouts on Kalshi following the completion of the game and verification of the data.
Several factors could influence the price movement of this market before resolution. Any news regarding injuries to key quarterbacks or wide receivers on either team would likely have a significant impact. Changes in weather forecasts, particularly if they suggest adverse conditions for passing, could also shift the market. Unexpected news about team strategies or coaching decisions could also cause fluctuations. Finally, large trading volume from informed traders could indicate a shift in sentiment and move the market accordingly.
