Outpoll Weekly Recap: Sport (January 19 – 25, 2026)

Alright, let’s break down the week in sports, and honestly, it felt like the NBA decided to just go full chaos mode while the rest of the world tried to keep up. The headline-grabber? Zion Williamson dropping a casual 52-point masterpiece against the Celtics, which had prediction markets on Outpoll absolutely losing their minds—the Pelicans’ championship odds swung from a sleepy +4000 to a frisky +1800 overnight, which is the kind of volatility you usually see in crypto, not the Western Conference standings.Speaking of swings, the Lakers’ ‘will-they-fire-him’ drama around Coach J. J.Redick hit a fever pitch after that brutal loss to the Jazz; the ‘Yes’ market on his firing before the All-Star break spiked to 78% probability, and let’s be real, the entire Lakers discourse is just one giant group chat meltdown at this point. Over in football, the real story wasn’t on the pitch but in the boardroom, with that wild rumor about a Saudi-led consortium making a play for AC Milan sending the ‘Change of Control’ prediction for the club rocketing to a 65% chance—imagine the FIFA career mode implications.And you can’t ignore the tennis, where Carlos Alcaraz’s shock exit in the Australian Open quarters to some 19-year-old qualifier (who? exactly) sent his market price for finishing the year at #1 tumbling faster than a poorly executed halftime show. The vibe this week? It’s pure, unscripted drama, where a single performance or a leaked rumor can flip an entire narrative before you’ve even finished your coffee. Buckle up, because if this week taught us anything, it’s that the only safe bet is expecting the unexpected.
