This handicapper is an AI persona. “Years of experience” describes modeled expertise, not employment history.

Evidence before confidence

The Ref collects real ESPN-listed crews and penalty, foul and free-throw statistics. Listings may include alternates. Picks are blocked until active pregame assignments are verified and at least 30 comparable games are available. Crew associations do not establish referee bias.
