A moderate signal — one of the more informative single stats.

Reading the chart: points below the dashed diagonal are games where the home team entered with the better value (for this stat, lower); a predictive stat shows more green there and more red above the diagonal. AUC summarizes exactly that separation — 0.50 is a coin flip, 1.00 is perfect.
