Analysis
This market shows extreme illiquidity with zero 24-hour volume and only $32.26 open interest, making the 56¢ price potentially unreliable despite the 357% implied yield on the yes side. The massive 60¢ spread and 1077% realized volatility suggest wild price swings—evidenced by the 7-day movement from 29¢ to 43¢—indicating this is a thin, speculative market rather than an efficient price discovery mechanism. With 263 days to expiry and a neutral regime, the high cliff risk index (3) and 7.19 volatility ratio suggest significant event risk ahead, likely tied to the 2026 NFL offseason and draft.
Resolution rules
This market will resolve according to the team that is declared as the AFC North division champion for the 2026 NFL regular season. If multiple teams tie atop the division, this market will resolve according to the official tiebreak procedure of the NFL. If the 2026 NFL regular season is cancelled, postponed after January 17, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, or there is otherwise no winner declared for this division within that timeframe, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the NFL; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
