Behind the numbers

NFL · Analysis · 2026-09-26

Chargers–Bills at 50: Buffalo’s efficiency puts possession control to the test

Buffalo’s scoring surge makes the over tempting, but Sunday’s total hinges on possessions as well as efficiency. A split between 50 and 50.5 matters without establishing an edge.

MLB · Analysis · 2026-09-26

Snell’s strikeout under: a workload question, not a shutdown call

The Dodgers’ postseason preparations put starter workload in focus. Our experimental Snell forecast favors under 7.5 strikeouts, but Friday’s pitching decisions are not a Saturday innings limit.

NFL · Analysis · 2026-09-25

Jayden Daniels is out. How much does Washington actually lose?

The healthy version of Daniels changes Washington’s ceiling. Last year’s splits tell a messier story—and the next four games will test how much Marcus Mariota can preserve.
