Sunday, January 4, 2026 — NFL Prediction & Pick
The model leans Dallas Cowboys primarily because of advantages in Market line and Form. The projected margin is DAL by 1.8 points. That lean is driven mainly by market line and form. Context pulls the other way.
On balance, more tracked inputs leaned Dallas Cowboys (2 edges vs 1 for New York Giants).
The model's lean lines up with that edge count. The score model and the raw stat comparison point the same way.

Context pulls the other way and favors NYG by about 1.1 points of margin.
