      Why it likes it
      • 5 drives produced 17 points by 3:51 Q1; the 1H drive model yields about 10 total drives, not a runaway possession count.
      • PROE/explosive uplift is real but specific: current combined PROE .2557 vs .1577 historical and explosive rate .2361 vs .1216; it supports the 3.06 first-half rate rather than a flat 50% split.
      • 17 points already scored on only five drives; one more short-field touchdown makes the under fragile.
