⚖️ Balanced: 1
🧱 Defensive Low Games
Grind games with suppressed scoring, field-position battles and fewer explosive plays. Typical totals: 32–40 points or lower.
| Matchup | Type | Projected Score | Total | Final | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pittsburgh at Chicago | Defensive Low | PIT 17 – CHI 14 | 31 | PIT 28 – CHI 31 (59) | Both offenses inconsistent, defenses keep it tight. Actual became a shootout; total cleared projection by +28. |
| Cleveland at Las Vegas | Defensive Low | CLE 16 – LV 13 | 29 | CLE 24 – LV 10 (34) | Bottom-tier offenses; classic ugly low-scoring profile. |
| Buffalo at Houston | Defensive Lean | BUF 20 – HOU 17 | 37 | BUF 19 – HOU 23 (42) | Buffalo defense limits explosives; tempo leans under mid-40s. Actual total 42 stayed in the projected low range. |
| Jacksonville at Arizona | Defensive Low | JAX 19 – ARI 13 | 32 | JAX 27 – ARI 24 | Arizona struggles to finish drives; JAX red zone inconsistency. |
🔥 Attacking Games (One-Sided)
One team controls the scoreboard with explosive plays; the other struggles to keep pace. Typical totals: mid 40s to low 50s.
| Matchup | Type | Projected Score | Total | Final | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NY Jets at Baltimore | Attacking (BAL dom) | BAL 34 – NYJ 10 | 44 | NYJ 10 – BAL 23 (33) | Jets offense bottom-tier, Ravens roll at home. Script right (BAL control), but red-zone issues kept total down. |
| Minnesota at Green Bay | Attacking Lean | GB 31 – MIN 20 | 51 | MIN 6 – GB 23 (29) | GB offense trending up, MIN defense leaking. GB dominance correct; MIN offense collapsed, dragging total under. |
| NY Giants at Detroit | Attacking (DET dom) | DET 38 – NYG 13 | 51 | NYG 27 – DET 34 (61) | Huge PowerScore gap; Lions can name the score. DET control right, but NYG scored far more than projected; big total over. |
| Tampa Bay at LA Rams | Attacking (LAR dom) | LAR 34 – TB 17 | 51 | LAR 34 – TB 7(41) | #1 PowerScore offense at home in good conditions. |
| Carolina at San Francisco | Attacking (SF dom) | SF 30 – CAR 14 | 44 | SF 20 – Car 9(29) | Short fields off defense; CAR struggles to answer. |
| Seattle at Tennessee | Attacking (SEA dom) | SEA 34 – TEN 16 | 50 | SEA 30 – TEN 24 (54) | Massive rating gap; Tennessee defense outgunned. SEA control mostly held, with TEN scoring more than expected. |
⚔️ High-Level Even Attacking Games
Both offenses trade blows, lead changes are likely, and the final drive can decide it. Typical totals: mid 50s and up.
| Matchup | Type | Projected Score | Total | Final | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indianapolis at Kansas City | High-Level Attacking | KC 31 – IND 27 | 58 | IND 20 – KC 23 (43) | Two strong offenses, game of the week potential. Actual played as a tighter, lower total game; KC win correct, game type overestimated. |
| Philadelphia at Dallas | High-Level Attacking | PHI 30 – DAL 24 | 54 | Dall 24 – PHI 21(25) | Dallas home scoring vs Philly efficiency. |
| Atlanta at New Orleans | High-Level Even | ATL 27 – NO 23 | 50 | ALt 24 – NO 10(41) | Sneaky shootout potential if both passing games click. |
⚖️ Balanced Mid-Range Games
Neither pure defensive slugfest nor full shootout; scoring lands roughly in the low-to-mid 40s.
| Matchup | Type | Projected Score | Total | Final | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| New England at Cincinnati | Balanced | NE 27 – CIN 20 | 47 | NE 26 – CIN 20 (46) | NE controls tempo; scoring sits between grind and shootout. Projection almost perfect: spread and total both within 1 point. |
