Game review
What happened
The Bengals beat the Titans 43–36 at home. Joe Burrow completed 38 of 48 passes for 462 yards with 5 touchdowns and 3 interceptions, and Tee Higgins caught 10 passes for 155 yards and 2 touchdowns. For the Titans, Cam Ward completed 26 of 40 passes for 304 yards with 2 touchdowns.
What the model got right
The model gave the Bengals an 83% chance at home, mainly because of their higher team rating (1574 to 1306), plus home field, and they won by 7. Both starting quarterbacks were the ones the preview expected: Cam Ward for the Titans and Joe Burrow for the Bengals.
What didn't work
Not much went against the model in this one. The Titans kept it to a one-score game, so it was never comfortable.
Why
The result fits what the model leaned on, the team rating. One win doesn't prove the model right: at 83%, about 2 in 10 games like this go the other way, and every result stays on our record.
