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.
Minnesota Vikings over the Lions: Elo 71%, market 46%. Big disagreement: trust the market number. Wentz is worth 43 Elo; MIN off a bye.
Details
- Rest: MIN 10 days, DET 7 days. MIN off a bye (+25 Elo).
- Quarterback adjustment: MIN +43 (Carson Wentz), DET 0 (Jared Goff). How that works.
- Weather. Indoors (dome), so no weather adjustment.
