Why the model landed here
Strength, scoring, site and rest.
Denver Broncos entered Week 9 at 6-2 with a +0.9 point differential per game. Carolina Panthers entered at 3-4 and -2.1 per game.
Carolina Panthers receives the model's 1.5-point home-field adjustment. The rest difference is home by 3 days.
The scoring projection regresses both teams' current points scored and allowed toward their prior-season baselines. The opponent-adjusted rating caps individual game margins at 28 points so one blowout cannot dominate the board.
On the 2025 Weeks 5-18 walk-forward, these rules finished 125–83 straight up, 81–82 ATS and 81–80 on totals. The ATS and totals results were effectively coin flips.
