The model's primary look here is the spread, where Colts +3.5 shows a 2.1-point edge against the best AU line of 3.5 at Unibet (1.92). That is well short of the 10-point threshold the model needs before week 6, so this sits as a pass with the gap simply falling under the bar. The total also shows next to nothing, with Over 47.5 at TAB (1.90) carrying just a 0.1 edge against the model's own 47.6 projection. Baltimore's deep-left passing game rates well against Indianapolis's coverage there, but it isn't enough on its own to move the number meaningfully.

Worth flagging that there's no 2026 play-by-play in this rating yet - it's last season's numbers blended with the market's post-offseason view of both teams (the market anchor), scaled by how much of each roster carried over (continuity). The rating also carries a hand adjustment of 1. Historical early-season backtest claims are withheld from this display unless independently verified.

Recorded bets only. Published model selections and historical backtests are tracked separately.
Weeks 1 to 5 are published analysis-first while the current-season play sample is still small. Ratings lean more on prior-season performance, market anchors, roster continuity and supported manual adjustments until the 2026 sample grows. PLAY labels are model recommendations, not confirmation that a bet has been placed. Historical early-season backtest claims are withheld from this display unless independently verified.
