Aaron Rodgers’ passing yards at home and away

, ,

Against his share of what his opponents usually allowed quarterbacks, Aaron Rodgers was 2.4 yards under at home and 32.0 yards over away in 2026, 4 games against 3. The plain averages are 230.0 and 246.3, a difference of 16.3. Expected was 18.1 yards higher at home than away.

3 games away is still too small a sample for the statistics to say much, but maybe you can find something if you squint.

Method

  • Expected is what the opponent allowed quarterbacks in its other 2026 games, plus 1.6 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, 100%.
  • Each expected number is then fit to the season’s games: a game bears out about 98% of the difference the model predicts.
  • The shuffle keeps the season’s shape: the games are cut in two where one date leaves the least variance, each game is read against its stretch, and the sides are shuffled only inside each stretch.
