What the primary record establishes
The CFTC register lists GMNI filing 65563 as Certified with a 21 October 2026 date. Its attached submission describes intended listing no earlier than 23 October. The question concerns the Buffalo Bills’ best record in the referenced 2026–27 NFL regular season. CFTC filing 65563 — GMNI Buffalo Bills best record, 21 October ↗
What the distinction changes
For example, if exactly two teams qualified for that tie, the formula would give USD 0.50 to each relevant Yes contract. That is hypothetical arithmetic, not a claim about the eventual standings.
What to check before drawing a conclusion
Before interpreting a quotation, retain the season, named team, official source and tie provisions. Check intended listing separately from the filing date and from actual availability at the venue.

The terms use the highest regular-season winning percentage, counting a tied game as half a win and half a loss. If N teams share the highest percentage, each tied team’s Yes side receives USD 1 divided by N, rounded down to USD 0.0001; the No side receives the remainder.

The relevant event is the regular season. A Super Bowl winner, a playoff qualification or a single-game result answers a different question and cannot replace the contractual standings measure.

WFN explains the payoff definition without predicting the Bills’ result. Registry classification alone does not show every possible payout; the terms and the qualifying final standings are both needed to reconstruct settlement.
