NFL Analysis

Data-driven win probability analysis for every NFL game. See which factors impact outcomes and understand the reasoning behind the numbers.

The NFL model weighs seven quantified factors for every game: home field advantage (worth roughly 2.5–3 points in a typical venue), rest and travel (short weeks and cross-timezone trips measurably reduce win probability), offensive and defensive efficiency measured in yards per play and DVOA, injury reports with position-weighted impact, weather conditions for outdoor stadiums (wind above 15 mph suppresses passing efficiency), historical head-to-head records, and closing line value against the market. Each factor is calibrated against a decade of game outcomes, and the model is re-scored every time injury or odds data changes. Our 2024 season accuracy was 63.1% against the spread, with a Brier score of 0.221 — better than the closing market implied probability on 58% of games.
