How MockSlate counts travel miles

Every game is a round trip from Caesars Superdome to the game venue, as the crow flies, rounded to ten miles. A home game counts zero; a neutral or international site counts from home even when the Saints are the designated home team. Rest days are the days since the previous game, a short week is fewer than seven, and the body clock is the kickoff in Saints home time. Back-to-back road games are flagged rather than modeled as one trip. All 32 teams ranked →

NFL win rate by rest advantage since 2002

Every regular-season game from 2002 to 2025 after Week 1, bucketed by the home team’s rest edge over the visitor. The win rate is the home team’s, so the Even row is the plain home-field baseline to read the others against.

5,838 games bucketed: 6,223 in the file minus 383 Week 1 games and 2 later games where a team had no earlier game that season. Ties count as half a win.
