How The Model Sees It

Our rating has Tennessee Titans as the stronger side by 5 rating points, which on its own is worth about 0.2 points on the scoreboard (NYJ 1,346, TEN 1,351).

Home field adds 1.4 points to TEN — 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 +1.6, and running that through the historical spread of actual results against projections gives Tennessee Titans at 55%.

The closing line agrees on the winner, making Tennessee Titans favourite by 1.5 against our 1.6.
