The projection leans New England Patriots because New England Patriots owns the cleaner scoring-margin profile and New England Patriots has the recent-form edge. Third-down conversion rate is a cleaner tempo proxy than total yards.

Three things to watch

Form gap. New England Patriots is carrying the cleaner recent sample than Minnesota Vikings. Streaky teams can carry one more game than the standings imply.
Net efficiency. New England Patriots has the cleaner scoring profile; Minnesota Vikings needs the game state to get messier.
Scoring margin. New England Patriots at +8.7 per game vs. Minnesota Vikings at +0.6 — a 8.0-point gap on the season.
