Monday, September 21, 2020 — NFL Prediction & Pick
The model leans New Orleans Saints primarily because of advantages in Market line and Context. The projected margin is NO by 2.3 points. That lean is driven mainly by market line and context. Form pulls the other way.
On balance, more tracked inputs leaned New Orleans Saints (2 edges vs 1 for Las Vegas Raiders).
The model's lean lines up with that edge count. The score model and the raw stat comparison point the same way.
Market line is a large contribution and supports NO by about 3.6 points of margin. The market spread feature is +4.0.
Form pulls the other way and favors LV by about 1.7 points of margin. Points scored per game: LV 34.0, NO 31.6.
Context is a large contribution and supports NO by about 0.4 points of margin.
