Projected margin
+4.9 Buccaneers

Point differential, shrunk and adjusted for home field. Fitted on 1,087 games (2022–25) and scored on seasons it never saw: 12.9 points of error against 14.0 for no model. Against the closing line on a full season it went 133–133 — exactly even, and the closing line predicted the margin better than this did. Use it to understand a game, not to beat a price. Neither side has played yet, so both ratings are last season’s.

Thin market — too few trades here to read anything into the split.

Share of money and share of trades among the side that crossed the spread to get filled, over the last 27 trades. This is exchange flow, not a sportsbook's handle — a different set of people, and a smaller pool.

Dollars waiting to be filled on each side — what has not traded yet, which is the opposite of a handle figure. Resting orders can be pulled, so this is a picture of intent, not a prediction.
