    • Toledo’s +0.2640 offensive EPA/play and 3.234 points/drive versus Buffalo’s +0.0900 defensive EPA allowed favors a one-sided script, not balanced scoring.

    • Most likely ticket loss is Toledo’s explosive offense turning the mismatch into 40-plus points while Buffalo contributes enough late scoring.
    • Both teams’ current pace averages are noisy, including several implausibly low game-level entries; possession forecasting is uncertain.
