THIS WEEK'S PICKS/SCOREBOARD
I calculate the spread for each game by taking the power ratings of the two
teams and adding in 3 points for the home team. If the margin of victory
exceeds 42 points, take the difference between the power ratings and 42 and
divide by 2 to get my projected spread. For example, 60 points would become 51;
50 points would become 46, etc. The predictions will become more accurate as the
season progresses.
