Why these numbers
  • Statistics: Last 16 games. Schedule-adjusted: the defenses he faced allowed 4% more than average, so his raw 39.5 counts as 38.1. Streaky: his recent games have predicted his next game better than his longer average, so recent games count more.
  • Matchup: CIN allows 3% less to running backs than the league average, over 8 games (weighted for sample size).
  • Weather: Forecast at kickoff: 42°F, wind 0 mph, 0% chance of rain or snow, Mostly Cloudy. Wind (13 mph or more): calmer this week, after wind in 3 of his last 16 games (league-wide −3% in 480 games; his own games: +56% in 5 without vs 29 with). Effect −4%. Rain and snow are shown but not measured yet.
  • Coach / team: McCarthy's offense vs Golden's defense: 1 meeting since 2018, 4% above what those teams usually produce and allow (weighted for sample size). Scheme: West Coast offenses vs Multiple / disguise defenses, 71 games since 2018, 8% above expectation (fills the weight the direct meetings do not earn).
  • Rest / bye: Coming off a bye. League-wide, offenses are 7% above their average after a bye (270 games since 2018). No bye history for McCarthy. This player: 24% below his average in 1 game after a bye. All weighted for sample size.
  • Game time: This game is in primetime. In his 4 games in that window (of his last 34), he was 4% below his usual, schedule-adjusted. Weighted for sample size.
  • Injuries / lineup: Quarterback: back to full strength, after being short in 1 of his last 16 games (league-wide +3% in 763 games; his own games: −23% in 3 without vs 31 with). Effect +0%. Lead running back: back to full strength, after being short in 11 of his last 16 games (league-wide +101% in 1074 games; his own games: +91% in 29 without vs 5 with). Effect −40%. Offensive line: back to full strength, after being short in 6 of his last 16 games (league-wide −4% in 1851 games). Effect +2%. CIN defensive front: back to full strength, after being short in 3 of his last 16 games (league-wide +4% in 1400 games). Effect −1%.
