Sunday, December 27, 2020 — NFL Prediction & Pick
The model leans Houston Texans primarily because of advantages in Market line and Context. The projected margin is HOU by 5.4 points. That lean is driven mainly by market line and context. Form pulls the other way.
On balance, more tracked inputs leaned Houston Texans (2 edges vs 1 for Cincinnati Bengals).
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 HOU by about 3.3 points of margin. The market spread feature is -7.5.
Form pulls the other way and favors CIN by about 1.5 points of margin.
Context is a large contribution and supports HOU by about 0.6 points of margin.
Houston Texans -7.5 (Matchbook) | O/U 46.0 (LowVig.ag)
