## How the model works

Title odds drift slowly in-season. Carolina's chance tends to continue its latest move, and the sizeable 237-day horizon leaves it otherwise standing still.

- About 0.555 in log-odds of each day's move in Carolina's title chance carries on over the following week. DataSnack's author expected 0.5 in log-odds; the data say 0.555 in log-odds ± 0.19. Fits past data roughly.
