Game review

What happened

The Commanders beat the Eagles 27–10 at home. Jayden Daniels completed 16 of 29 passes for 217 yards with 1 touchdown, and Treylon Burks caught 3 passes for 81 yards. For the Eagles, Tanner McKee completed 23 of 34 passes for 212 yards with 1 interception.

What the model got right

The model gave the Commanders a 69% chance at home, mainly because of home field, even though the Eagles had the higher team rating (1426 to 1401), and they won by 17. Both starting quarterbacks were the ones the preview expected: Tanner McKee for the Eagles and Jayden Daniels for the Commanders.

What didn't work

Our rating had the Eagles as the stronger team, and on the day that didn't decide it. The Eagles never got close enough to make it a contest.

Why

The result fits what the model leaned on, home field. One win doesn't prove the model right: at 69%, about 3 in 10 games like this go the other way, and every result stays on our record.
