The score estimate, the unit production and the questions to take into the film room.
60.3% home win estimate · 48.5 total
Read the range. The nominal 80% home-margin range is -19.4 to +28.2 points. It includes a win by either team. The range and probability curve were calibrated on 2024 outcomes.
Know the inputs. The production model uses team identities, prior scores and home field. The unit and player statistics below supply context; they do not alter this prediction. Transfers, injuries, weather and coaching changes are not explicit model features.
Put the production side by side.
Play-weighted source rates against each team’s own opponents. These are unadjusted historical observations, not a head-to-head forecast or a new input to the score model. Defensive figures describe opponent production; lower EPA allowed is better.

Metric definitions and film questions
EPA / play
Offensive expected points added divided by recorded scrimmage plays. Source EPA totals are rounded; this is unadjusted production.
On film: Which downs and field positions account for the efficiency? Review the game log before assigning a coverage.
Pass EPA / play
Passing EPA divided by source pass plays; these are not necessarily official pass attempts.
On film: Separate protection, pressure and coverage on film. Team passing EPA does not identify which player or scheme created the result.
Rush EPA / play
Rushing EPA divided by source rushing plays.
On film: Check box counts, blocking and quarterback run involvement. These totals do not establish a front or gap tendency.
Yards / play
Source offensive yards divided by scrimmage plays. Do not substitute passing plus rushing yards for the published offensive total.
On film: Separate sustained gains from a few long plays, and inspect opponent quality before comparing averages.
Explosive play share
Source-classified explosive plays divided by scrimmage plays. EPA_explosive is a count, not EPA. This is our stated denominator, not a claim to reproduce every source rate or a fixed yardage threshold.
On film: Review the source-classified explosive plays on film. This measure does not establish a fixed yardage threshold.
Stuffed rush share
Source stuffed carries divided by rushing plays. Lower is favorable for an offense; higher is favorable for the defending team.
On film: Check where runs break down and which fronts were involved. A team rate is not an individual blocking grade.
Who supplied the production?
Up to two qualified players per program and category, ordered by total source EPA. Minimums: 100 passing, 50 rushing or 30 receiving plays. These 2025 affiliations do not verify current rosters, eligibility, availability or starting roles. Player totals include all their recorded opponents and do not follow the team-sample filter above. Never add EPA across overlapping categories.

Check the record before the edge.
The game record keeps registered forecast versions, source-state observations and qualifying line comparisons. The prospective scorecard selects the earliest eligible registration; that can be an older model version than this brief.
The separate imported archive has no line for this game. See the dated game record for any qualifying feed observations; an absent quote is not replaced with a guessed price.
A model home margin of +5 and a home spread of −3 differ by +2 points toward the home side. This describes disagreement, not a betting return.
