Sunday, December 17, 2023 — NFL Prediction & Pick
The model leans Kansas City Chiefs primarily because of advantages in Market line and Market blend. The projected margin is KC by 6.1 points. That lean is driven mainly by market line and market blend. Context pulls the other way.
On balance, more tracked inputs leaned Kansas City Chiefs (2 edges vs 1 for New England Patriots).
The model's lean lines up with that edge count. The score model and the raw stat comparison point the same way.

Market blend is a large contribution and supports KC by about 0.8 points of margin. The published margin is blended 15% toward the market line (-10.5 points).
