|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NFL-2026-W2-DET-BUF-O52.5 | Lions @ Bills, Sep. 17 | Over 52.5 -110 | Over 53.5 -110 | 54.5 | Final: BUF 41, DET 31 | EXPIRED. Target never returned; never official and not graded as a bet. |
| NFL-2026-W2-GB-NYJ-NYJ+5 | Packers @ Jets | Jets +5 -110 | Jets +4.5 -110 | +3.5 | +3.5 -105 | OPEN — no trigger. Beyond the fixed maximum; do not chase. |

ARIJets +5 watch — no proposal
Current market: Jets +3.5 -105
Proposed units: 0.00u
Positive Edge: 7.2/10
Devil Risk: 8.2/10
Net Edge: -1.0
The underdog thesis remains intact, but +3.5 is 1.5 points below the exact trigger and one point beyond the maximum playable line.
Risk manager / pass explanation: Pass. A return to Jets +5 -110 triggers formal revalidation; +4.5 -110 is the maximum playable number. The target does not move with the market.
Cardinals +5.5 watch — no proposal
Current market: Cardinals +4.5 -120
Proposed units: 0.00u
Positive Edge: 8.0/10
Devil Risk: 8.5/10
Net Edge: -0.5
Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold is out and Drew Lock is expected to start, according to the NFL injury update. That supports the Arizona thesis, but the market has already removed required points and added expensive juice.
Risk manager / pass explanation: Pass. The fixed trigger remains Cardinals +5.5 -110 and the maximum remains +5 -110. Injury news does not authorize moving the target.
What changes the view
- Jets: +5 -110 plus a clean injury report triggers re-review.
- Cardinals: +5.5 -110 plus confirmation of Seattle's quarterback situation triggers re-review.
- A new key quarterback, offensive-line or secondary absence requires a full thesis rebuild.
- No watch may become official without the separate Final Positions ledger.
Official wagers: none. Official exposure: 0.00u. AUTO_PICKS unchanged.
