Over 264 matches (Aug 2000 – May 2009), Graham Laws drew 81 where the draw model expected 73.8 from those particular fixtures — about 7 more, or 1.0 standard errors, which is what the model expected, near enough.

As unusual as a coin landing the same way 2 times running. A flat league average would have expected 72.0 instead — "more draws than the league" and "more draws than these fixtures deserved" are different claims. These matches were part of the model's own training set, so its chances were fitted already knowing the results.
