Pre-Game Win Probabilities
From the engine's power ratings, adjusted for home field and rest, then mapped through the margin distribution. Not a blend of the market — this is our own number.
Engine vs The Line
We agree with the market on the winner. The margins may still differ.

How The Model Sees It
Our rating has San Francisco 49ers as the stronger side by 239 rating points, which on its own is worth about 9.6 points on the scoreboard (SF 1,684, ATL 1,444).
Home field adds 1.4 points to ATL — 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 +0.1 points (SF 6 days, ATL 7).
That lands on a projected margin of -8.1, and running that through the historical spread of actual results against projections gives San Francisco 49ers at 73%.
The closing line agrees on the winner, making San Francisco 49ers favourite by 3.5 against our 8.1.
