Lora sensitivity

https://unsigned.io/understanding-lora-parameters/ claims -137 dBm (for BW=125kHz, SF=12, coding rate=5) but I’ve never seen better than rssi=-129 dBm @ snr=9? Am I supposed to deduct the 6dB noise figure to get a real world sensitivity of -131 dBm? If not, why the 8 dBm disparity between predicted & observed?
