Analysis
The Commanders contract has collapsed 37.5% over seven days (from 16¢ to 10¢), now pricing in just a 10% win probability despite 263 days to expiry, yet the market shows zero 24-hour volume and a wide 14¢ spread suggesting illiquidity concerns. The extreme 929.8% implied yield on the Yes side reflects the sharp recent selloff rather than fundamental value, while the 1419% realized volatility and 7.0 cliff risk index indicate this is a highly unstable micro-cap position vulnerable to thin-book reversals. With only $42.3k open interest and an information arrival rate of 2.0/hour, this appears to be a speculative dumping ground rather than an efficiently priced market.
Resolution rules
This market will resolve according to the team that is declared as the NFC East 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.
