- T.J. Watt — the market puts it at 7%, closing 8 Feb 2027. The outcome is Yes if T.J. Watt records more sacks than any other player during the 2026-2027 NFL regular season. The outcome is No if he does not lead the league in total sacks by the end of that specific season. Readers often mistake the deadline, assuming the count includes playoff games or extends beyond the regular season.
- Before Feb 15, 2027 — the market puts it at 2%, closing 22 Feb 2027. The outcome is Yes if Tony Romo appears as an on-air analyst for a CBS NFL broadcast between now and February 15, 2027. The outcome is No if he does not perform in that specific role within the deadline. Readers often mistake his general employment status or other media appearances for the required on-air analyst work.
