About Nick's Picks

Nick's Picks is an independent UFC scoring project. Each card is a locked profile comparison: modifiers, a pick, and — after the event — a result.

It is built to look like a sports analytics desk, not a sportsbook. Nick Picks still lock as JSON in this repo. Free accounts exist only so you can vote Crowd Picks — one pick per fight, before the card is graded. There is no CMS. Reference moneylines, when recorded, sit outside the card file and are not part of the score.

The point

Most fight previews hide the work. This one shows enough to be honest: the expand panel, the modifiers, the gap, the confidence badge that falls out of how separated the profiles are. When the pick is wrong, the miss stays on /results.

The public methodology page is intentionally non-exhaustive. It explains how to read the site. It does not publish a copyable scoring cookbook.
