Model ensemble · how the prediction is built
Each sub-model uses a different rating substrate. Bayesian model averaging weights them by rolling Brier score so the ensemble inherits each model's strengths. Disagreement flags games where the sub-models don't see eye-to-eye — lower confidence, wider band.

arolina Panthers visit Cleveland Browns Sunday at 9/27 - 1:00 PM EDT.
Vegas opened CAR as a 2.5-point favorite with the total at 40.5. CLE's moneyline implies a 47% break-even, CAR the inverse.
For bettors: the CAR side carries the favorite-tax, the dog gets the points and a plus-money payout. The 40.5 total reads defensive vs the league average.
