Experimental projection: 2026 model 2026-v3. For 2026-v2/v3, ratings blend 2025 regular-season performance with completed 2026 games: four games give each team a 50% current-season weight. These are statistical estimates, not betting advice.

How to Read These Predictions

Projected Score
The model's estimated points for each team. Decimal scores show the mathematical estimate; they are not intended to resemble a possible final score exactly.
Win Probability
The estimated chance that the team wins. The two percentages add to 100%. A 54.4% team is only a slight favorite, while 75% indicates a much stronger favorite.
Pick
The team with the higher win probability. It is the model's selection, not a guarantee or betting recommendation.
Margin
The difference between the two projected scores. SEA by 1.2 means Seattle is projected to outscore New England by 1.2 points.
Confidence Score
For 2026-v2/v3, confidence is the selected team’s win probability: Low below 56%, Medium from 56% to below 62%, and High at 62% or above. Earlier models may use different definitions.
Home and Neutral Sites
The 2026-v3 model estimates home advantage from 2025 scoring margins and applies no home adjustment at neutral sites. Earlier model versions may handle venues differently.

The 2026-v2/v3 models blend team scoring averages, offensive and defensive EPA per play, success rates and explosive-play rates. Current-season weights rise from 20% after one game to 50% after four and 80% after seven or more.

The generator uses refreshed team-season statistics and updates future games. Version 2026-v3 freezes predictions once games start. Predictions incorporate current-season form only after the statistics refresh and generator have run; injuries, lineup changes, weather and betting lines are not separate model inputs.
