Mixed record.

A moderate disagreement of 3.5 points.

Across five seasons, cards this far from the market claimed 57% accuracy and delivered 49%. That gap is where this grade comes from.

How much weight this card's information deserves — not a recommendation.

How this number is made. Every FBS team starts the season at a preseason expectation built from last season's ratings, roster talent, recruiting, returning production and the coaching situation. After every game a filter updates each team's offense and defense, opponent-adjusted, and the two teams' numbers meet here with the home advantage. The total adds the teams' pace and the wind. The market is never an input; it is shown so you can see where Atlas differs and read why.

A difference is not an edge. Atlas has measured what happens at every size of disagreement, and the gap between what the model claims and what it delivers widens as the disagreement grows. This game sits in the 2-4 band, where cards have claimed 57% accuracy and delivered 49% across 1,123 games.

Figures come from completed games only, so every one was known before kickoff. They are raw, not adjusted for opponents - All drivers has Atlas's adjusted view. College counts sack yardage as rushing, as the NCAA does.

Each model's number for this game as its source published it before kickoff; Win is the favored side's chance to win, where the model gives one. FPI's margin and chance are ESPN's own. SP+ is the difference in the two teams' ratings, plus 2.5 for a home side; Elo is the difference in ratings at 24 points a point, plus 2.6 for a home side, as Atlas measured it on past seasons. None of these is an input to Atlas's number, and none is here to settle anything: they show where Atlas sits among other models.

How this grade was computed the four things that set the letter, out of a hundred
C73

Mixed card

The disagreement is wide enough that the model's historical claim runs well ahead of what it delivered.

Calibration 30/45
Market agreement 18/25
Card conditions 10/15
Data completeness 15/15

Atlas sits 3.5 points from the market. The calibration curve, fitted to every completed season out of sample, expects cards at that distance to fall 12.0% short of what they claim — which is where the calibration component above comes from.

The total has moved 3.0 points since it opened. Cards on a market that has moved have calibrated worse in five of six seasons.

The grade describes how much weight the information deserves. It says nothing about which side of a market anyone should take, and Atlas does not publish that. How grades are computed.

Offense, in points MISS +8.1 pts

Atlas rates Ole Miss' offense at +11.6 points a game against FBS average and Auburn's at +3.5, opponent-adjusted, after 7 games this season.

Two findings that are not in conflict

Atlas has measured disagreement twice, against two different reference points, and they say different things.

Measured againstWhat it predicts
The closing numberthe model's own failure — so a large difference lowers the grade
The opening numberwhich way the line moves — tracked publicly, not graded

A model far from the close is wrong; a model far from the open is early. The second finding is tracked in the open closing-line record and is deliberately kept out of the grade.

Read the gap, not the claim. Atlas's raw confidence numbers run high — a claimed 57% has historically delivered 49%. The grade already corrects for this. The claim is shown so the correction is visible rather than hidden.
What this card is. Research, analytics and market context. Atlas does not publish selections, does not size anything and does not project returns. Every figure is computed out of sample from a point-in-time database: nothing attached to a game uses information that did not exist before kickoff.
