Why these numbers
- Statistics: Last 16 games. Schedule-adjusted: the defenses he faced allowed 3% less than average, so his raw 94.6 counts as 97.2. Steady: his longer average has predicted his next game better than his last few games, so all 16 count nearly equally.
- Matchup: NYJ allows 11% more to running backs than the league average, over 9 games (weighted for sample size).
- Weather: Forecast at kickoff: 51°F, wind 12 mph, 1% chance of rain or snow, Sunny. 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: −35% in 6 without vs 28 with). Effect +4%. Cold (32°F or colder): milder this week, after freezing weather in 4 of his last 16 games (league-wide +0% in 144 games; his own games: −5% in 8 without vs 26 with). Effect +1%. Rain and snow are shown but not measured yet.
- Coach / team: Brady's offense vs Glenn's defense: 1 meeting since 2018, 83% above what those teams usually produce and allow (weighted for sample size). Scheme: Air Raid / spread offenses vs Man-heavy multiple (Belichick tree) defenses, 47 games since 2018, 5% above expectation (fills the weight the direct meetings do not earn).
- Rest / bye: Not coming off a bye.
- Game time: This game is in the early window. In his 16 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: −70% in 2 without vs 32 with). Effect +1%. Offensive line: Spencer Brown (Doubtful, ankle) not expected to play (measured per player, weighted for sample size, snap share and how good he has been (Spencer Brown: his team +25% in 4 games without him vs 23 with); already the case in 5 of his last 16 games). Effect +7%. NYJ defensive front: back to full strength, after being short in 4 of his last 16 games (league-wide +4% in 1400 games). Effect −1%. Watch: NYJ defensive front: Harrison Phillips (Questionable, ankle).
