NFL Strategic Plays

Institutional-grade analysis for the 2025-26 season

Our NFL analysis applies the same rigorous methodology used in institutional finance to identify market inefficiencies and sustainable competitive advantages in professional football.

Each play represents comprehensive research into organizational culture, coaching philosophy, and statistical modeling to uncover value where the market has yet to adjust.

Official FP Plays - 2025 Season

Mike Macdonald Coach of the Year +1200 (2u)

Seattle's defensive transformation under Macdonald represents a market inefficiency. The former Ravens defensive coordinator brings institutional-grade defensive philosophy to the seahawks and we predict another step up in quality as he heads into year 2.

High Confidence

Aaron Glenn Coach of the Year +1400 (1u)

Glenn inherits a Jets organization with established defensive talent and developing offensive infrastructure. The market undervalues his Detroit apprenticeship under Dan Campbell's culture-building methodology. Our models suggest significant value in his leadership transition potential.

Medium Confidence

Defensive Rookie Portfolio Strategy

Mike Green DROY +1000 (2u): Market mispricing on a first-round talent entering an ideal situation.

Jihaad Campbell DROY +1200 (2u): Reviews have said Jihaad has been impressive all camp. He enters into an ideal situation in this Vic Fangio lead defense and has drawn comparisons to Micah Parsons.

Donovan Ezeiruaki DROY +2500 (2u): High-upside positional value with substantial odds premium.

JT Tuimoloau DROY +5000 (1u): Lottery ticket on elite college production translating to immediate NFL impact.

Portfolio Approach

Miami Dolphins Underperformance Thesis

Dolphins to miss playoffs -250 (3u): Organizational instability , quarterback durability concerns and offensive line woes create sustainable competitive disadvantage for this club.

Dolphins under 8.5 wins -150 (3u):

High Conviction

Tampa Bay NFC South Winner +100 (3u)

Baker Mayfield's career trajectory and Tampa's organizational stability create significant value versus divisional competition. Our models suggest the market undervalues coaching and established offensive production advantages over Atlanta's transition period and Carolina's rebuilding phase.

High Confidence

Denver Broncos AFC West Winner +375 (2u)

Sean Payton's systematic quarterback development approach with Bo Nix represents institutional competitive advantage. The market overweights Kansas City's recent dominance while undervaluing Denver's defensive improvements , bullying offensive line and organizational culture alignment.

Value Play

Indianapolis Colts AFC South Winner +325 (3u)

Medium Confidence

Strategic Win Total and Playoff Positions

New York Giants over 5.5 wins +110 (3u): Market overcorrection creates value opportunity. Daniel Jones health and organizational stability suggest floor higher than market pricing.

Houston Texans under 9.5 wins -115 (3u): Sophomore quarterback regression thesis and organizational pressure dynamics suggest market overvaluation.

Seattle Seahawks playoffs +175 (3u) / over 9.5 wins +125 (3u): Macdonald defensive transformation creates significant value versus market expectations.

Denver Broncos playoffs -115 (3u): Organizational culture and coaching infrastructure suggest playoff positioning value.
