Would the headline read "Patriots deliver more touchdowns than analyst targets, bets up 7%"? Do people talk about "targets" rather than "predictions" or "odds"

Would the headline read "Patriots deliver more touchdowns than analyst targets, bets up 7%"? Do people talk about "targets" rather than "predictions" or "odds" in American Football analysis? "We set a target of X game wins for the Patriots this season". "Patriots beat analyst targets". No, it would say "Patriots beat Otherteam!", "Patriots win championship!". Analysts wouldn't get a mention. Phrasing it like Tesla is a team playing against Wall Street analysts is a bit weird, now that commentor mentions it.
