Who is going to ball out?
A Week 5 simulation preview powered by SnapScore + generalized SnapSim. The model ranks player-week upside before kickoff, runs the full slate through a drive-by-drive simulator, then compares the forecast to actual Week 5 outcomes. SnapSim is a Lab experiment — the production projections on the board never depend on it.
What Snapcount knew before kickoff
The run freezes the prediction surface before Week 5: current-season form through W1-W4, prior-season play-calling, pregame market context, and target-week player-game mapping.
Ball-out board tied to the simulated slate
Each candidate links the SnapScore projection to the Week 5 game simulation for that matchup. Actuals are displayed as post-game validation, not as model inputs.
Full Week 5 simulation slate
Generalized SnapSim fits play-calling models from pre-week PBP, blends team offense with opponent defensive outcome tables, and runs 300 Monte Carlo games per matchup.
Predicted vs actual
MAE is computed directly from the top-25 board: absolute prediction error averaged across the displayed player-week targets.
