How The Model Sees It

Our rating has Denver Broncos as the stronger side by 36 rating points, which on its own is worth about 1.5 points on the scoreboard (JAX 1,586, DEN 1,623).

Home field adds 1.4 points to DEN — a measured figure from our backtest, not the traditional three, because home advantage in the modern NFL is considerably smaller than it used to be. Rest shifts it a further -0.1 points (JAX 7 days, DEN 6).

That lands on a projected margin of +2.8, and running that through the historical spread of actual results against projections gives Denver Broncos at 58%.

The closing line agrees on the winner, making Denver Broncos favourite by 2.5 against our 2.8.
