Post-Game Analysis

How our model performed

The Falcons defeated the Saints 45-24.

Our model predicted the Falcons would win with 50% confidence -- and they delivered. A close call, but the model's slight lean proved correct.

Looking at the factors our model weighed:

  • Injuries favored the Falcons and was a contributing factor: Falcons healthier: 6 out, 0 doubtful vs Saints 10 out, 0 doubtful
  • ELO Rating favored the Saints and was a contributing factor: Saints ELO 1461 vs Falcons ELO 1417 (diff: +44)
  • Home Field Advantage was neutral and a contributing factor: Saints are 0-1 at home this season; Falcons are 1-1 on the road (divisional game, reduced advantage)
  • Both teams are dealing with injuries -- the Saints have 10 player(s) ruled out, while the Falcons have 6.

This analysis was generated from our model's pre-game assessment compared against the actual result. Factor accuracy helps improve future predictions.
