Adam Kaufman: NFL picks record, 2026 season

Recently added · not yet eligible for comparisons We track new betting analysts for at least 30 graded picks recorded before kickoff, over at least 30 days and 2 NFL weeks, before they appear in rankings, badges and game-page counts. So far: 12 graded picks with a pre-kickoff timestamp (recorded by us before kickoff, or stamped by Action Network), over 2 days and 1 NFL week; each pick says who set the time and when we read it.

The record below counts every pick we have, the same way as for everyone. How we record and grade picks

12 graded picks read after the games but timestamped before kickoff by Action Network; 5 picks waiting for a result.

Market-adjusted results

Three numbers for each market: the record, market-adjusted points and a simple rule to compare with. Points count each pick as if it were a 1-point play at the market price at the time of the pick (for picks added after the game, the price at the start of that NFL week), with the bookmaker margin taken out: a win adds what that price paid (more for an underdog, less for a favorite), a loss takes away 1 point, a push counts 0. Zero is the expected score if market probabilities are accurate. How we score fairly

The 2026 season, the last four weeks and the live record (picks we recorded before kickoff, from Week 6), where there is one. A straight-up pick without a two-sided price at the time is left out of points; a spread or total pick without a price on its own line counts at even odds.
