I've toyed with the ratings a bit this week because I didn't like the ordering they were giving.  As a result, the predictions from last week can't be recalculated automatically, but the end result is that the predictions from the old ratings were average again as usual where it should have been an easy week to predict.  The new ratings had much better results, both for last week and the season in general.

 

In short, I found that is no home field advantage this season, that offense is more important than defense, and winning doesn't seem to be as important as how and who you play.  Goes against everything I've believed in with respect to football, but the reality is that the game might be changing to emphasize the offense.  Hard to say and only time will tell.
