3 prediction markets price this story:
- Justin Herbert — the market puts it at 1%, closing 2 Feb 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Justin Herbert throws at least 40 passing touchdowns in the 2026-27 NFL regular season. The count excludes postseason games and any plays from the previous or following seasons. Readers often mistake the deadline, thinking it applies to the current season rather than the specific 2026-27 schedule.
- Jim Harbaugh — the market puts it at 18%, closing 15 Feb 2027. The market resolves to "Yes" if Jim Harbaugh leaves his role as head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers or announces he will leave before any other NFL head coach does, and this happens between now and February 15, 2027. The outcome is "No" if no other NFL head coach departs before him within that timeframe, or if he remains in his position past the deadline.
- Jim Harbaugh — the market puts it at 9%, with $266 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Mar 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Jim Harbaugh leaves his role as head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers or announces he will leave before March 1, 2027. The outcome is No if he remains in that position past that date. Readers often mistake the linked news story about a single game loss for the resolution event, but only his departure or announcement of departure counts.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
