How The Model Sees It

Our rating has Green Bay Packers as the stronger side by 106 rating points, which on its own is worth about 4.2 points on the scoreboard (GB 1,489, NYJ 1,384).

Home field adds 1.4 points to NYJ — 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 -2.8, and running that through the historical spread of actual results against projections gives Green Bay Packers at 59%.

The closing line agrees on the winner, making Green Bay Packers favourite by 4.5 against our 2.8.
