Score order: the team named on the box is first; its opponent is second. A = AwayH = HomeN = Neutral
This experimental baseline resamples each team's five most recent completed regular/postseason box scores 1,500 times. It applies conservative adjustments for opponent record strength, recent combined scoring environment as a pace proxy, kickoff weather, and a 1.5-point home-field assumption (zero at a neutral site). Second-half projections scale the scoring window and apply a capped modifier from first-half scoring. Spread and total confidence are scored separately.
Strong confidence requires a 3.5+ point edge and a 95% bootstrap interval that clears the listed market. Moderate confidence requires a 2+ point edge with at least 55% simulated support. Everything else is an emerging signal. The model is not calibrated as a guarantee and does not yet incorporate play-by-play pace, injuries, or roster turnover.
