How The Model Sees It

Our rating has Buffalo Bills as the stronger side by 276 rating points, which on its own is worth about 11.1 points on the scoreboard (BUF 1,608, LV 1,332).

Home field adds 1.4 points to LV — a measured figure from our backtest, not the traditional three, because home advantage in the modern NFL is considerably smaller than it used to be. Rest shifts it a further +0.1 points (BUF 6 days, LV 7).

That lands on a projected margin of -9.6, and running that through the historical spread of actual results against projections gives Buffalo Bills at 77%.

The closing line agrees on the winner, making Buffalo Bills favourite by 6.5 against our 9.6.
