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.
Detroit Lions over the Cardinals: Elo 53%, market 74%. Big disagreement: trust the market number. Brissett is costing 40 Elo.
Details
- Rest: ARI 7 days, DET 7 days.
- Quarterback adjustment: ARI -40 (Jacoby Brissett), DET 0 (Jared Goff). How that works.
- Weather. Indoors (roof closed), so no weather adjustment.
