Our call for every Week 3 game: the team the consensus of our models favors, how confident it is, and how many models agree. Our call had the winner in 9 of 16 games this week.
Reconstructed: Week 3 came before these pages existed, so these predictions were worked out afterwards from data before the week. The scorecard keeps reconstructed weeks apart.
