Game review
What happened
The Broncos beat the Cardinals 30–16 on the road. Bo Nix completed 15 of 29 passes for 222 yards with 1 touchdown. For the Cardinals, Jacoby Brissett completed 27 of 48 passes for 272 yards with 1 touchdown.
What the model got right
The model gave the Broncos a 71% chance on the road, mainly because of their higher team rating (1625 to 1384), and they won by 14. Both starting quarterbacks were the ones the preview expected: Bo Nix for the Broncos and Jacoby Brissett for the Cardinals.
What didn't work
Not much went against the model in this one. The Cardinals never got close enough to make it a contest.
Why
The result fits what the model leaned on, the team rating. One win doesn't prove the model right: at 71%, about 3 in 10 games like this go the other way, and every result stays on our record.
