Method

  • Against the line is each game’s points of margin less what the closing line expected, from nflverse’s schedules. A game nobody lined sits out, and a push hasn’t beaten it. Lately is the last 4 games with one.
  • Against expected is each game against what the opponent usually gave up in its other games, with half the home edge, averaged. A game against a team with no other game here sits out.
  • Touchdowns are passing and rushing. Turnovers on offense are the ones it lost, and on defense the ones it forced. Sacks on offense are the ones its quarterbacks took.
