PF/PA Claw-Back

The Eagles are carrying a +5.5 scoring margin per game. In a 17-game season a scoring differential that far from league average is mostly schedule and turnover luck this early. The PF/PA Claw-Back shrinks both teams toward the league baseline before simulation — Cowboys +0.4, Eagles -1.3, with the harder pull on Eagles at 1.3 points. Rest is not neutral either: Cowboys come in on 13 days against 7, a 6-day gap the market prices thinly.
