Week 8 in FORGE

NFL predictions are easy. Understanding why they differ from the market is harder.

FORGE generates independent football projections and measures them with transparent historical accountability. Captured market data is downstream comparison and audit context only — never an engine input.

The best NFL pregame decision-analysis interface. Official projections publish each Tuesday morning (Central) and are revised automatically, game by game before each kickoff, if official roster or injury sources change a starting quarterback or listed starter.

Projected scores and win probability appear after the Official FORGE run is published.

Real accountability example

The projection stays frozen after kickoff

This completed game places the final score beside the stored pregame FORGE projection. The pick outcome and margin miss are calculated from those two records; the projection is never rewritten after the result is known.

Why FORGE is different

Built to be checked, not to be believed

FORGE performance

Every projection is frozen at kickoff and graded against the final score.

View full performance history

Frozen pregame projections

Projections are locked at kickoff. Nothing is rewritten once the result is known.

Transparent performance

Grading starts with this season. Once games are graded, misses appear next to the hits, scored the same way.

Compared to the captured market

FORGE is measured against the market price FORGE actually captured before kickoff — never an invented close.

No manufactured history

Where the evidence is too thin to support a claim, FORGE says so instead of guessing.
