- The KC offense has given up 3.3 points per game to defenses vs a league average of 5.7, so 70% of that gap is applied (x0.71).
- Opposing offense injuries (x1.01): Opposing top target Travis Kelce is questionable.
- Game environment (x0.84): Vegas total 47.5, implied 18.8 points for NYJ (league avg 22.6); Underdog by 10: likely to pass more while trailing; Mild weather (65F, 9 mph wind): no weather adjustment.
- Chance of a 10+ point game: 9%. A statistical model, not injury or lineup news.
