How to read this: each lean compares what the defense allows per game with the league average, and the projections combine the offense’s own average with that (32 teams, games before Week 9 plus any Week 9 games already finished). A stat leans when the defense is 8% or more away from average; “Favors offense” means at least two more stats lean the offense’s way than the defense’s. Lines are the consensus across major US sportsbooks and update through the week; TD prices are the median across books. This page is research, not betting advice.
