The model's winner call: locked before the start, graded in public, built on the market's price.
VAN end zone ← 100 yards → MSST end zone
A longer bar = a better setup for the offense: half from how high the offense ranks, half from how low the defense across from it ranks (of 137). A full bar is the best offense against the worst defense; the dashed tick is an even matchup. Biggest advantage first.
VAN has the clear advantage in third-down conversion and passing; MSST's defense has it in havoc and rushing.
MSST has the clear advantage in third-down conversion, finishing drives, passing and rushing.
VAN offense ranks better in 2 of 6 matchups (2 by a clear margin) · MSST defense in 4 (2 by a clear margin)
MSST offense ranks better in 6 of 6 matchups (4 by a clear margin) · VAN defense in 0
Each measure, offense vs opposing defense, ranked of 137 (1 = best). Favors: big rank gap. ▲▼: recent trend.

No meetings recorded since 2023: that's as far back as our data for this league goes, so an earlier series between these two, if there is one, wouldn't show up here.

The 6 measures where these two sit furthest apart among the league's 138 ranked teams, over each team's last 13 regular-season games (Oct 2025 – Oct 2026; 7–8 in 2026, 5–6 in 2025). A longer bar = higher in the league (rank 1 = highest, even for points allowed). A rank says where a number sits, not which side it points to.
