Method

  • Expected is what the opponent allowed running backs in its other 2026 games, plus 10.2 for the home team (half the league’s home edge for running backs that season), nothing at a neutral site, scaled to his share of his team’s running backs’ rushing yards in his games, 60%.
  • Each expected number is then fit to the season’s games: a game bears out about 101% of the difference the model predicts.
