Remaining Schedule
Away win Tie Home win• HC = avg handicap from S23 lineups • Group S in white
Training data: 351 matches from MNP Seasons 22–23 (handicap era)
Outcome variable: Game points + handicap (not raw game points). HC = round(25 − team_IPR_sum/2)
Model: Two logistic regressions (P(home win) and P(home doesn’t lose)) with four features:
IPR sum difference, true home venue, per-venue home advantage residual, and per-team away performance residual
Per-venue effects: Residual home win rate after controlling for IPR, shrunk toward 0 for small samples (half-weight at 10 matches)
Per-team away effects: Residual away win rate after controlling for IPR, shrunk toward 0 (half-weight at 8 matches)
Handicap: Uses each team’s average handicap from their actual S23 match lineups (accounts for sub fluctuations)
Simulation: 10,000 Monte Carlo iterations per group, sampling three-outcome probabilities for remaining matches (week 10)
POPS tiebreaker: Each simulation samples a game-point fraction from empirical win/loss/tie distributions (S22–23) and projects each team’s final POPS.
Rankings: Points (2×W + T) with projected final POPS as tiebreaker
Baseline: Standings through week 9
Same model for all groups: The model is trained on all league data (not group-specific), so the same coefficients and distributions apply to every group.
