Post-Game Analysis

How our model performed

The Patriots defeated the Dolphins 38-10.

Our model predicted the Patriots would win with 52% confidence -- and they delivered. A close call, but the model's slight lean proved correct.

Looking at the factors our model weighed:

  • Home Field Advantage favored the Patriots and was a contributing factor: New England Patriots are 4-3 at home this season (divisional game, reduced advantage)
  • Defensive Efficiency favored the Dolphins and was a contributing factor: Miami Dolphins defense (5.2 YPP allowed) is stronger than New England Patriots (5.3 YPP allowed)
  • Turnover Differential favored the Dolphins and was a contributing factor: New England Patriots turnover differential (-1) vs Miami Dolphins (+3)

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