Decision audit

Evidence-driven

Why the pick wins
Pittsburgh Steelers projects ahead on road EPA per play and holds the trench advantage (78 DL grade). The market is pricing the opponent's recent record rather than underlying efficiency.
Why the pick loses
Variance in a high-volatility game. Environment compresses the sample and raises the underdog's live win path.
Biggest risk
T. Boswell (K, CLE) status is unresolved — 1.5 projected points of swing.
Biggest unknown
Game-day wind forecast has not stabilized.
What would change this
Confirmed inactives, a starting-quarterback change, a two-point-or-greater line move, or a wind forecast revision above 18 mph.

Game Theory36.0% CLE
Material disagreement. The EPA and matchup models are more bullish on CLE than the market and injury models. The recommendation weights the market model heavily because the injury picture is unresolved; treat the probability as a range, not a point estimate.

Bias audit

Documented for every recommendation

  • Public bias: no extreme ticket concentration.
  • Primetime bias: national-window games historically draw inflated public confidence.
  • Recency bias: last-week results were explicitly excluded from the power-rating update beyond their efficiency contribution.
  • Favorite bias: minimal.
  • Brand bias: rating inputs are efficiency-based, not reputation-based.
