Method

Read against .

  • Expected is an offense and a defense a team, fit over every game of its season between two teams in the table with the game being read left out, plus 0.0 in 2025, plus 0.0 in 2026 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 15% in 2025, 2% in 2026 of the difference the model predicts.
  • The two sides are the games before and after one date, so the shuffle moves any game between them.
  • Who played is read from the snap counts, which name every player who took a snap on offense, defense or special teams.
  • 11 games in 2024 are neither with Jacory Croskey-Merritt nor since Jacory Croskey-Merritt’s last game: Jacory Croskey-Merritt had no game for the team that season, and sit out.
