Other models what FPI, SP+ and Elo say about this game, beside Atlas and the market
| Model | Margin | Win | As of |
|---|---|---|---|
| FPI (ESPN) | BOIS by 15.5 | 86% | Oct 28 |
| SP+ | BOIS by 11.9 | — | Oct 29 |
| Elo | BOIS by 9.0 | — | Oct 29 |
| Atlas | BOIS by 14.2 | 82% | live |
| Market | BOIS by 10.5 | — | live |
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
Mixed card
The disagreement is wide enough that the model's historical claim runs well ahead of what it delivered.
Atlas sits 3.7 points from the market. The calibration curve, fitted to every completed season out of sample, expects cards at that distance to fall 12.4% short of what they claim — which is where the calibration component above comes from.
The total has moved 2.0 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.
All drivers all 4 things the model is reading, and how each team ranks against the rest of the country
Atlas rates Boise St's defense at +5.7 points a game against FBS average and Texas St's at -2.4, opponent-adjusted, after 6 games this season.
A combined 123 plays per game — the 90th percentile of this season's games. A fast game, which lifts the projected total.
Atlas rates Boise St's offense at +7.1 points a game against FBS average and Texas St's at +4.0, opponent-adjusted, after 6 games this season.
Playing at home is worth 2.6 points in this season's model, fitted, not assumed.
Market movement how far the market has moved since the number opened, and which way
Total, open to current
| Measure | Value |

Atlas and the market have moved the same way on this total.
Two findings that are not in conflict
Atlas has measured disagreement twice, against two different reference points, and they say different things.
| Measured against | What it predicts |
|---|---|
| The closing number | the model's own failure — so a large difference lowers the grade |
| The opening number | which 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.
