Schedule & market notes
- Bye: Week 8 — a mid-season bye, giving a roughly even split on either side.
- Short-week / non-Sunday games: 1 Thursday, 2 Monday — short-rest games carry their own well-documented ATS variance, worth flagging on your calendar as they approach.

Power ratings & 2025 results
- 2025 record: 4-13-0 — Points For 381, Points Against 439 (differential -58).
- Margin of Victory: -3.4 pts/game — the average scoring margin across all 2025 games, win or lose.
- Strength of Schedule (SoS): -0.2 — Pro-Football-Reference's SRS-based measure of 2025 opponent quality; positive means a tougher slate than average.
- SRS (power rating): -3.6 — Simple Rating System score, which converts directly to a projected point spread on a neutral field against a leagueaverage team.
- Offensive SRS: -0.6 · Defensive SRS: -3.0 — the SRS power rating split into offensive and defensive components; higher offensive and higher defensive figures are both better.
- Turnover differential: -2 — total takeaways minus giveaways across the 2025 season, one of the more volatile year-to-year metrics and worth weighing against the rest of this profile rather than on its own.
