How do the picks work for the World Cup?

Pre-tournament, this page is the live data hub: real group tables, FIFA rankings, and the full fixture schedule. Once the betting market posts prices for the matches, Slick's engine grades every play on closing-line value and the picks land at /picks. We do not post a pick until there is a priced market to grade it against.
