Field position sets the baseline
The 2026 league curve estimates the eventual drive result from the current ball position. Monotone constraints keep punt and scoring curves moving in football-sensible directions.
INPLAYLABS · LIVE DRIVE OUTCOME MODEL
Estimate the no-vig fair probability and price of how an NFL drive will end. This NFL model is based on 2026 regular-season drive results: league field-position rates set the compass, then current-season offense and defense results move the estimate.

HOW TO READ IT
The 2026 league curve estimates the eventual drive result from the current ball position. Monotone constraints keep punt and scoring curves moving in football-sensible directions.
Offense and defense effects are ridge-shrunk toward league average. That stops a small early-season sample from overpowering the broader league signal.
American and decimal prices are mathematical fair prices from the estimated probability. They are not sportsbook lines, predictions of certainty, or betting advice.
Punt: drive ends in a punt. Turnover: interception, lost fumble, turnover on downs, or an opponent defensive touchdown. Touchdown: possessing offense scores a touchdown. Field goal attempt: drive ends in a made, missed, or blocked field-goal try. Field goal made: drive ends in a made field goal. Score: offensive touchdown or made field goal. No score: the complement of score. Safety: the possessing offense concedes a safety.
Each drive contributes at most one observation per five-yard band reached. The model uses 2026 NFL regular-season results through Week 7 and considers field position, offense and defense only—it does not yet use down, distance, time, score differential, injuries, venue, coaching changes or weather. Field-goal-made is constrained below field-goal-attempt; score is touchdown plus made field goal.
