Our model simulates the game drive by drive from each side's opponent-adjusted efficiency, with home-field advantage. That projects SHSU -16.8 (84% to win), essentially in line with the market.

Why that percentage is worth reading: across 604 graded in-season games, the calls this model put near 58% came in at 58.2%. The full calibration table is published, bin by bin. Early in the season the cold-start path runs instead and calibrates less well (Brier 0.2028 against 0.1889).
