Over 375 matches (Aug 2000 – Mar 2012), Peter Walton drew 111 where the draw model expected 99.7 from those particular fixtures — about 11 more, or 1.3 standard errors, a gap most teams show over a stretch this long.

As unusual as a coin landing the same way 2 times running. A flat league average would have expected 99.4 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.
