Sun · Oct 4
Dallas Cowboys34–30finalHouston TexansSportslyx published “Houston Texans — Moneyline -155” on the company board before the start. It was graded a loss from the official final result: −$100.00 at the flat $100 stake every read in the record uses.
The board plays a slate rather than a shortlist of good days: every other read from October 2026 — the losing ones included — is listed with its price, its final score and its net result in the October 2026 results journal. Hit rate and ROI there are counted at a flat stake per read over the calendar month (UTC), and red months are shown as they happened.
The written breakdown behind the read — the reasoning, the data-quality tier and the model’s own notes — stays inside the product; what is public is the read itself and how it was settled.

AI Game Analysis
What the Sportslyx breakdown for Dallas Cowboys vs Houston Texans covers — and why none of it is printed here.
The in-product breakdown is written by a language model from the hydrated data package and the market line at the time it is generated. For NFL it weighs injury report, team form and rest, market lines and movement, head-to-head history and venue and states which side the numbers favor; the read is later graded against the result. AI breakdowns are pre-generated for the upcoming slate and cached; the win probability on the card is derived from the current market line. The breakdown text is not rewritten when the line moves. A data-quality tier — rich, partial or weak — is passed to the model so thin data is flagged rather than hidden, and the percentage shown anywhere on Sportslyx is a market-derived win probability, not a model score.
Nothing from that written breakdown appears on this public page: not the data-quality tier, not the text. The side is shown above only because this one is already settled — past days of the board are public, the current and next day are not. What you can check without an account is how past reads performed — the Pick Tracker publishes hit rate and ROI at a flat stake by month and by sport, and the AI sports analysis page explains how the model is prompted and where it fails.

Grading
Prediction Tracking
How a read on Dallas Cowboys vs Houston Texans is settled and where the result is published.
The moneyline read is graded on the final score including overtime; a tie is a push. Player props are covered for MLB only, so the graded read on this game is always the game result.
Tracked picks close 15 minutes after the start, so a read cannot be added once the game is under way. Postponed games are removed from the record rather than counted. Every settled read lands in a calendar-month (UTC) record with hit rate — wins divided by wins plus losses, pushes excluded — and ROI at a flat stake per read. One period, one set of rules, across the whole product.
The same settlement rules apply to your own tracked picks inside the workspace: add Dallas Cowboys vs Houston Texans to a watchlist, log a read, and it is graded automatically from the official result, with your net result shown in money at your own stake. The public record is on the Pick Tracker, the per-sport history on NFL predictions, and the full rule set on the Methodology page.
