Notes

Scoring

Per game, through week 8. In the VS LEAGUE column, plus is better - more scored, fewer allowed.

Four ways to read them

The same team read four ways, each as a projected 17-game record. Where Pythagorean and LOWFI/1 part ways, that's mostly who they've played.

Every simulated season

Every win total from 10,000 simulated seasons, one row per model. The dot is the average and the dark lines are the credible interval.

Where the rating comes from

What the LOWFI/1 rating is built from, in the order it's built. Green helps, orange hurts, and each bar picks up where the last one left off.

Week by week

Each point is what that Tuesday's run said, before that week's games - nothing here gets refit after the fact. LOWFI/1 is in points and LOWFI/0 is a probability, so they get their own panels.

Schedule

Games already played show what was on file before kickoff, next to the result. Games ahead show this week's numbers. Every margin reads from this team's side, so plus means they're favored, and every number in a row is as of the date on the right.
