How The Model Sees It

Our rating has Jacksonville Jaguars as the stronger side by 225 rating points, which on its own is worth about 9.0 points on the scoreboard (IND 1,398, JAX 1,623).

Home field adds 1.4 points to JAX — 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 (IND 7 days, JAX 14).

That lands on a projected margin of +11.1, and running that through the historical spread of actual results against projections gives Jacksonville Jaguars at 80%.

The closing line agrees on the winner, making Jacksonville Jaguars favourite by 7.5 against our 11.1.
