Will the New England Patriots win the 2027 NFL league championship? — the market puts it at 3%, with $7k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Apr 2027. The Yes outcome occurs if the New England Patriots win the 2027 NFL league championship. The No outcome applies if any other team wins or if the Patriots are eliminated from contention. Readers often mistake the linked Week 2 game for the resolution event, but only the final league champion matters.
New England vs Chicago — the market puts it at 1%, closing 21 Feb 2027. The market resolves to Yes if New England and Chicago are confirmed as the teams playing in the Championship Game of the 2026-27 Pro Football season. It resolves to No if they do not play each other in that specific championship game. Readers often mistake this for a prediction of which team will win, but the outcome depends solely on whether these two teams meet in the final match.
