This is not a win probability. It adds up how much each play changed the points a team could expect from its field position. Kicks and returns are not counted.
What each possession produced, and the plays that swung the game most.
Available yards is the share of the distance to the end zone a team gained on its drives. A play's swing is how much it changed the points a team could expect, so kicks and returns do not appear.
The game has not started.
Odds come from how every team calls this situation, shifted for how this team calls its own. This game's plays are left out.

Each key sets one team's offense against the other's defense in the same situation, using Michigan State's 6 games and Nebraska's 6 so far, garbage time left out. The bold number in the comparison is the better one, and the small number beside it is that team's rank among FBS teams. Havoc plays are losses, sacks, passes broken up and takeaways. The win chance comes from this site's power index, and it is not a betting line.
