How The Model Sees It

Our rating has Cincinnati Bengals as the stronger side by 273 rating points, which on its own is worth about 10.9 points on the scoreboard (TEN 1,297, CIN 1,570).

Home field adds 1.4 points to CIN — 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 +12.3, and running that through the historical spread of actual results against projections gives Cincinnati Bengals at 83%.

The closing line agrees on the winner, making Cincinnati Bengals favourite by 10.0 against our 12.3.
