The read
  1. Philadelphia rank 18th against intermediate throws, which make up 34% of McMillan's targets.
  2. Don't force short throws: they've been McMillan's worst return (-0.14 EPA a target), and Philadelphia are 6th there.
  3. Work the left side: 40% of his targets go that way and Philadelphia rank 24th defending throws there.
  4. Free data doesn't show who covers whom on each snap, so this is the defence's profile, not a confirmed one-on-one.

"Market over" is the bookmaker's price with the margin taken out. Green bars are games that cleared the line. Our own prop model is switched off until it passes a public audit on 2026 data, so we show the market and the history, not a tip.
