How The Model Sees It

Our rating has Indianapolis Colts as the stronger side by 181 rating points, which on its own is worth about 7.2 points on the scoreboard (TEN 1,266, IND 1,447).

Home field adds 1.4 points to IND — 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 +8.6, and running that through the historical spread of actual results against projections gives Indianapolis Colts at 75%.

The closing line agrees on the winner, making Indianapolis Colts favourite by 7.0 against our 8.6.
