Rank is the G&W Power Rating rank on each day we published it. Last-5 numbers are regular-season games.

4-2 against the close · −5.5 pts

Last 4 games: +1.8 pts a game vs the close.

Cover margin: the team's final margin plus its closing spread. Positive means they beat the number by that many points. The bet-time line is the consensus line on the morning of the bet window (Tuesday for football, game day for most other sports). The close is the consensus line just before the start. Every game uses only lines captured before it began. Regular season only.
