Snapshot observed 2026-10-18T06:00:06.106Z. This analysis describes that snapshot and is not a live news update.

What the contract measures

These snapshot rows come from a single Polymarket event titled "Pro Football: Team to Make Postseason" [1]. Each contract asks whether one listed team will reach the 2027 NFL Playoffs. The event rules state: "This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed team clinches a spot in the 2026-27 NFL Playoffs per the rules of the NFL." [1] A contract resolves "No" if the team becomes mathematically eliminated, if the playoffs are cancelled or postponed to begin after January 24, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, or if the full 14-team field is not officially confirmed by the NFL within that timeframe [1].

The resolution source is official NFL information and or the clinching team, though "a consensus of credible reporting may also be used" [1]. Listed end times differ across the sampled contracts. Some show 2027-01-05T00:00:00.000Z and others show 2027-01-25T04:59:00.000Z [1]. These are listed close times in the provider data. They are not announced playoff dates or confirmed resolution dates.

Reading the snapshot

The provider observed these prices at 2026-10-18T06:00:06.106Z, and the record was retrieved at 2026-10-18T07:53:52.968Z [1]. The figures describe that past observation and should not be read as live prices. For example, the San Francisco 49ers "Yes" contract was priced at 0.9555 and the Seattle Seahawks "Yes" contract at 0.585 [1]. Prices are snapshots, not executable quotes or verified probabilities.

Compare contracts only within this event. The sample includes 12 of 32 markets, so it is a partial sample [1]. The selection method ranks by Yes price, then volume, so the excluded markets are not shown and should not be inferred from the included ones. Volume is not reported in this excerpt, so no liquidity conclusions are supported. Differences in listed end dates also mean some contracts close on different timelines, so direct comparison requires attention to those dates.

What remains uncertain

The evidence does not explain why any price is where it is, how many traders hold each view, or what news may have affected the market. It also does not show whether any listed team has clinched or been eliminated since the observation time. The excerpt does not assess how accurately prices have forecast past seasons. Because the sample is partial and drawn from one event, these figures cannot describe the full set of teams. Price gaps between contracts should not be treated as an arbitrage opportunity without verifying rules, end times, and executable order-book conditions.
