How it's graded. Each pick is a 1-unit bet at the closing odds (the books' consensus price). ROI is the profit per unit staked. Draws, no contests and cancelled fights don't count.

Who makes the table. An outlet's pick on a fight is the side most of its writers took, when at least two of them picked it. Outlets need 10 or more of those fights.

The consensus. The side most of the media picked, on fights with at least 3 of their picks. The favorite is graded on the same fights.
