About DialBall

DialBall rates every game from 0 to 100 on how worth watching it is, before it starts and live while it's on, so you can find the good one and switch to it in time.

How the rating works

Before a game, the rating comes from the betting line, team records and rankings, and rivalries. During a game it follows the score, the clock, momentum and the chance of an upset. Close games late get the biggest boost. Finals are rated on how the whole game played out.

How accurate it is

Every finished game is logged with its pregame and final rating, misses included. The full game log can be downloaded.

What it covers

NFL, college football, NBA, men's and women's college basketball, WNBA, NHL and MLB, plus golf and UFC events. Scores and schedules come from public sports data feeds.

The fine print

DialBall is an independent project. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by ESPN, any league or any team. Team names and logos belong to their owners. Betting lines are shown for context only; DialBall doesn't take or encourage bets.
