Where the number comes from

Each component is additive, in points of expected margin.

  • Team ratings (opponent-adjusted EPA)+0.27
  • Home-field advantage+2.49
  • Quarterback adjustment+0.62
  • Rest differential-0.64
  • Expected margin+2.74

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.
