Method
- Expected is what the opponent allowed tight ends in its other 2026 games, plus 2.2 for the home team (half the league’s home edge for tight ends that season), nothing at a neutral site, scaled to his share of his team’s tight ends’ receiving yards in his games, 69%.
- Each expected number is then fit to the season’s games: a game bears out about 94% 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.
