Results are tracked using flat one-unit wagers for each listed selection, with odds sourced from ESPN BET Sportsbook. Defensive prop bets will be added as they become available. Example Week 8 selection: Buccaneers-Saints UNDER 46.5 based on New Orleans' low scoring and Tampa Bay's heavy blitz/pressure defense.
