About Us

Sports Injury Central (SIC) is the home of the leading panel of Head Team Physicians from the NFL, NBA, and MLB with over a century of pro sports team physician experience. The panel are known as Pro Football Doc, Pro Basketball Doc and Pro Baseball Doc.

SIC is the most trusted source of NFL injury information from NFL team physicians with over 50 million impressions per month on Twitter alone.

The team analyzes all of the injury news from the NFL, NBA, MLB, College Football and professional sports with in-depth injury analysis to give you an edge with your betting, DFS and other fantasy sports plays.

What is the SIC Score?

SIC Score is our proprietary numerical injury index grading system powered by algorithms that incorporates the health of team and individual players to give sports bettors, DFS players and fantasy owners an edge each game during the season. While it purposely doesn't take into account coaching, schemes or matchups, SIC Scores give an accurate assessment of team and player overall health heading into a game.

For individual players a SIC Score of 100 means no current or past significant health issues or risks. A score of 1 means that he won't play. Numbers in between are a relative grade related to their health and performance expectations. Here are the SIC Score color ranges:

Team SIC Scores

85-100 = Green

70-84.9 = Yellow

0-69.9 = Red

Player SIC Scores

85-100 = Green

50-84.9 = Yellow

0-49.9 = Red
