Sample predicted cover margin at the T−24 decision line.
The pregame pick is frozen. It is historical and no longer current.
02 / HOW TO READ THE OUTPUT
Keep the uncertainty in view.
The NFL output is a point margin at the decision line. Its residual interval spans a range of possible errors; it is not a win probability.
MODEL STATEMENT
Prediction-error experiment. The model has no demonstrated advantage over the market line: on the holdout its error was not distinguishable from the market baseline (the 95% interval crosses zero). Nothing here is a recommendation to act.
