Live scores and game details come from public ESPN feeds and refresh each minute. NBA and NHL schedules include yesterday, today, and the following seven days. If the initial feed cannot be reached, retry from the status line. Later refresh failures keep the last loaded scores and mark them stale.
Before playMatchup stakes, team quality, rankings, and market expectations. NFL division positioning uses actual standings; recent form, scoring potential, and verified stories add bounded context.
During playCurrent leverage leads the rating: margin, time remaining, possession or baserunners, and verified recent momentum. Pregame reputation fades after play begins.
After playThe whole game matters: final margin, sustained competitiveness, comebacks, lead changes, overtime, and the deciding sequence when available.
Betting linesShown when ESPN lists them. MLB and NHL may offer a moneyline rather than a run/puck spread. Post-start pregame lines are not labeled as verified closes unless the feed says so.
