Here is my full ensemble of predictions, using both Massey-Peabody numbers and player model numbers, for this weekend’s games. We’ll also give our un-regressed cover probabilities, as well as cover probabilities regressing 50% to the market number. Remember that the lines we give are means, which don’t take into account the distribution. The means and medians don’t necessarily match up, especially around key numbers.
- Indianapolis at Kansas City
- MP Line: KC -7.7
- Player Model Line: KC -5.7
- Combo Line: KC -7.1
- Market Line: KC -5.5
- Kansas City -5.5 (54.1% raw cover probability, 52.0% regressed to market)
- No official play
- Dallas at LA Rams
- MP Line: LA -11.7
- Player Model Line: LA -7.7
