Why Prescott ranks #9

  • Dak Prescott has reached 2+ passing TDs in 2 of 2 games this season.
  • Prescott has 6 passing TDs in 2 games (3.00 per game) on 32.5 pass attempts per game. With a small sample, that is blended with what a typical QB at this workload produces (1.62 per game), giving 2.17 per game.
  • The Ravens have allowed 1.00 passing TDs per game to QBs over 2 games, versus a league average of 1.56 (-36%). Only 33% of that gap is applied because the sample is small, a x0.88 adjustment.
  • Game environment (passing TDs x1.09): Vegas total 52.5, implied 24.8 points for DAL (league avg 22.5); Underdog by 3: likely to pass more while trailing; Indoors: no weather effect, a small boost for passing and kicking.
  • Expected passing TDs this week: 2.09. That makes the chance of 2+ passing TDs 62%.
  • Small sample: only 2 games so far, so treat this as directional.
How the math works

Rate: (actual total + 3 games of the typical rate) divided by (games played + 3). This keeps one or two games from swinging the estimate.

Matchup: the opponent's allowed rate to QBs divided by the league average, with only n/(n+4) of the gap applied and limited to x0.7 to x1.4.

Chance: expected 2.09, converted with a Poisson count model to the chance of 2+.
