Method

Read against .

  • Expected is an offense and a defense a team, fit over every 2026 game between two teams in the table with the game being read left out, plus 0.2 for the home team (the edge the fit finds once strength is in), nothing at a neutral site.
  • Each expected number is then fit to the season’s games: a game bears out about 23% of the difference the model predicts.
  • Who played is read from the snap counts, which name every player who took a snap on offense, defense or special teams.
  • 28 games in 2024 and 2025 are neither with L'Jarius Sneed nor since L'Jarius Sneed’s last game: L'Jarius Sneed had no game for the team those seasons, and sit out.
