Method

  • Expected is what the opponent allowed quarterbacks in its other 2026 games, plus 9.3 for the home team (half the league’s home edge for quarterbacks that season), nothing at a neutral site, scaled to his share of his team’s quarterbacks’ passing yards in his games, 83%.
  • Each expected number is then fit to the season’s games: a game bears out about 102% of the difference the model predicts.
  • Bucknell has no other game in the table, so that game has no expected number and sits out the second figure.
