This chart is not the model. It shows the inputs that read well as a side-by-side. 7 of the model’s heaviest-weighted inputs have no head-to-head form and are not drawn here: point differential, overall matchup, team win rate, pass matchup among them. The full list of all 55 is on the methodology tab.
Around the game
- SchemePHI
PHI faces a 4-3 front
TEN's roster profiles as a 4-3 base defense.
Base front is inferred from roster composition (agrees with snap data at Spearman 0.50). Most teams play nickel by default, so this is a weak descriptor: measured defensive efficiency carries far more weight in the model.
- Recent formTEN
TEN -11.0 pts/game trend
Over the last 10 games (exponentially weighted), TEN has been being outscored by opponents by 11.0 points per game.
- Recent formPHI
PHI +2.3 pts/game trend
Over the last 10 games (exponentially weighted), PHI has been outscoring opponents by 2.3 points per game.
- VenueTEN
TEN at home
Home teams have won 54.7% of games in the training window; the model prices this in rather than applying a fixed bonus.
Every figure here comes from Calibrated Logistic Regression (core + market features), validated walk-forward by season (train on all prior seasons, test on the next). For how the model is built, what the metrics mean and how it has actually performed, read the methodology.
