How MockSlate counts travel miles

Every game is a round trip from Acrisure Stadium 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 Steelers 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 Steelers home time. Back-to-back road games are flagged rather than modeled as one trip. All 32 teams ranked →

Pittsburgh Steelers rest advantage 2026 by week

Since 2002, home teams win 56% of games with even rest. With a rest edge of three days or more that rises to 58%. On the short side of three days or more it drops to 53%.

Edge is the Steelers’ rest days minus the opponent’s. Green is an edge, red a deficit, white even. Week 1 has no edge. Thursday games usually show 0: both teams are on a short week, so the edge cancels out.

Steelers’ season rest edge is -3, 22nd in the league, through the scheduled weeks.

NFL win rate by rest advantage since 2002

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.
