How The Model Sees It

Our rating has Seattle Seahawks as the stronger side by 322 rating points, which on its own is worth about 12.9 points on the scoreboard (SEA 1,697, ARI 1,375).

Home field adds 1.4 points to ARI — 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 -0.4 points (SEA 11 days, ARI 7).

That lands on a projected margin of -11.9, and running that through the historical spread of actual results against projections gives Seattle Seahawks at 82%.

The closing line agrees on the winner, making Seattle Seahawks favourite by 10.0 against our 11.9.
