Trading Strategy: NFL Preseason Markets
Preseason-period prediction markets frequently exhibit pricing inefficiencies owing to:
- Injury developments disseminate through traditional betting channels faster than they propagate across prediction market consensus
- Specialised understanding of individual franchises remains underrepresented in aggregate market sentiment
- Overweighting of marquee franchises and media narratives relative to genuine championship probability
