How The Model Sees It

Our rating has New York Giants as the stronger side by 81 rating points, which on its own is worth about 3.2 points on the scoreboard (NO 1,385, NYG 1,465).

Home field adds 1.4 points to NYG — 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 +4.6, and running that through the historical spread of actual results against projections gives New York Giants at 64%.

The closing line agrees on the winner, making New York Giants favourite by 1.5 against our 4.6.
