Engine vs The Line

We disagree with the market here. Worth knowing: across 1,139 backtested games our disagreements were right 41% of the time. We publish them regardless — and we publish how they land.

How The Model Sees It

Our rating has Philadelphia Eagles as the stronger side by 53 rating points, which on its own is worth about 2.1 points on the scoreboard (DAL 1,411, PHI 1,464).

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.

That lands on a projected margin of +3.5, and running that through the historical spread of actual results against projections gives Philadelphia Eagles at 61%.

The market disagrees. The closing line makes Dallas Cowboys the favourite by 4.5. Our engine sees only results — it has no view on injuries, roster changes or who a team has signed. When we split from the line, history says we're wrong more often than right, and we show you that rather than dressing the disagreement up as an edge.
