How these lines are made
In National Hockey League a line is made from the ratings and home advantage alone: a calibration layer using the other inputs did not beat rating-only out of sample here. Travel and time zones did not improve the line here; injuries and weather are collected but not yet measured.
Internal inputs
- Ratings from results used in 12 of 12
an Elo-style rating per team from every final score, with margin of victory · Bandwagon's stored results - Home advantage used in 12 of 12
the league's home edge, none at a neutral site · Bandwagon's model constants, checked against results - Schedule in the data but not used for 12
rest days, back-to-back games and three games in four days · Bandwagon's stored fixtures - Recent form in the data but not used for 12
average margin over each side's last games this season · Bandwagon's stored results
External inputs
- Injuries in the data but not used for 2 · unavailable for 10 (More than three days to kickoff; lists are used inside that window)
players listed out or doubtful, weighted by their share of the team's playing time · Public injury lists and box scores · newest read Nov 4, 8:35 PM UTC - Travel and time zones in the data but not used for 12
distance and time-zone change from each side's last game to the venue · Wikidata venue coordinates, Open-Meteo time zones · newest read Oct 29, 10:33 PM UTC - Weather unavailable for 12 (Indoor sport)
forecast wind, rain and temperature around kickoff at open-air venues · Open-Meteo forecasts
Prediction markets and the crowd's split are shown beside the model's lines for comparison. They are not inputs. Method and record.
