Final Score
This is a weekly re-occurring post where we’ll provide the projected scores for each NFL game. Right now, we have three different models for our game-specific predictions. This might cause some disagreement between the picks for the spreads, game-winners, and game scores. The solution to this is creating a more complex model that predicts all of them simultaneously. Creating one robust solution is our long-term plan.

Below is a graph containing the 1 standard deviation of possible scores for a game. 68% of each team’s scores should fall between the leftmost and rightmost values.
This is useful for a few reasons:
- A broad range between the max and min, the less confident our model is about the final game score.
- You can see the overlap between outcomes and infer (I will work on using statistics to give you the probabilities) the number of results that would lead to a team winning and losing.
