Over (+) or under (−) what their opponents usually allow, a game, and where that stands among 30 teams, the best first. Lit is the top three or the bottom three.

  • Against expected is each game against what the opponent usually gave up in its other games, with half the home edge, averaged. A game against a team with no other game here sits out.
