Sunday, December 13, 2020 — NFL Prediction & Pick
The model leans New Orleans Saints primarily because of advantages in Market line and Market blend. The projected margin is NO by 4.9 points. That lean is driven mainly by market line and market blend.
On balance, more tracked inputs leaned New Orleans Saints (2 edges vs 0 for Philadelphia Eagles).
The model's lean lines up with that edge count. The score model and the raw stat comparison point the same way.
