The Almanac's Take

Chicago's 25-24 win at Washington — the week's highest drama index — was a one-point road win by a team that came in as a 5.5-point underdog, making it the clearest upset on the slate. Carolina pulled a similar trick against Dallas, covering and winning outright at home despite being a 3-point underdog. The Rams' 17-3 dismantling of Baltimore, a team favored by 7, was the other ugly result worth noting — a 14-point road win held well under the total. New England also won outright in New Orleans despite being a 3.5-point road dog.

Methodology

Final scores, box-score leaders, and the schedule are facts from nflverse. Win probability and the drama index (the sum of the win-probability swings across a game) are nflfastR-modeled — derived estimates, not raw facts; the win-probability line is the home team's, already team-relative. Standings are regular-season records to date, with win percentage counting a tie as half a win. Each game's recap is written from that deterministic data — the model turns the numbers into prose, it never computes them.
