Method

  • Expected is what the opponent allowed centers in its other 2026-27 games, plus 0.6 for the home team (half the league’s home edge for centers that season), nothing at a neutral site, scaled to his share of his team’s centers’ points in his games, 6%.
  • Each expected number is then fit to the season’s games: a game bears out about 89% of the difference the model predicts.
