How The Model Sees It

Our rating has Philadelphia Eagles as the stronger side by 32 rating points, which on its own is worth about 1.3 points on the scoreboard (CAR 1,468, PHI 1,500).

Home field adds 1.4 points to PHI — 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 -0.7 points (CAR 14 days, PHI 7).

That lands on a projected margin of +2.0, and running that through the historical spread of actual results against projections gives Philadelphia Eagles at 56%.

The closing line agrees on the winner, making Philadelphia Eagles favourite by 1.5 against our 2.0.
