How The Model Sees It

Our rating has Pittsburgh Steelers as the stronger side by 50 rating points, which on its own is worth about 2.0 points on the scoreboard (IND 1,459, PIT 1,510).

Home field adds 1.4 points to PIT — 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 +0.3 points (IND 7 days, PIT 10).

That lands on a projected margin of +3.7, and running that through the historical spread of actual results against projections gives Pittsburgh Steelers at 61%.

The closing line agrees on the winner, making Pittsburgh Steelers favourite by 2.5 against our 3.7.
