The spot: Big disagreement
Elo and the market are 10 or more points apart. Over 24 seasons (943 games) Elo's side won 50% while Elo claimed 63% and the market 49%. The market was right almost every time. Take the market's number, or split the difference at most. This is where Elo is overconfident.
Denver Broncos over the Raiders: Elo 51%, market 63%. Big disagreement: trust the market number. Cousins is worth 70 Elo.
Details
- Rest: LV 7 days, DEN 7 days.
- Quarterback adjustment: LV +70 (Kirk Cousins), DEN -1 (Bo Nix). How that works.
- Weather. Indoors (dome), so no weather adjustment.
