Model Card

Model of the form points_i = intercept + off_i + def_j + beta_home. This is the two-parameter team baseline without pace adjustment.

Validation on this page uses stored season-level full-fit rows plus strict weekly rolling holdouts. Rolling ranks are based on average weekly log loss in the selected league/season. Current scope: All Games. All scored games in the selected league and season. AP Poll is excluded here.

Selected League / Season

Use the selected scope to inspect this model against peers and across rolling weekly holdouts.

Full Fit AUC 0.521 (#7) · 756 games
7-Day Holdout Log Loss 0.692 (#6) · 4 games
Rolling Avg Log Loss 0.664 (#3) · 22 windows
Window Wins 1 · 62.1% rolling accuracy

Full-fit AUC is only available where the older stored-rating batch produced that model for the selected scope. Recency and ensemble families can still have valid 7-day and rolling holdout results even when the full-fit columns are blank.
