Where the number comes from

Each component is additive, in points of expected margin.

  • Team ratings (opponent-adjusted EPA)-0.46
  • Home-field advantage+2.56
  • Quarterback adjustment-1.68
  • Rest differential+0.56
  • Expected margin+0.98

One or both ratings are carry-over priors — no games have been played this season yet, so treat this as a starting assumption rather than a read.
